Re: where is your vote going in '08
I have not been around any newer helos. Over 40 years since I flew in them. The 34's were engine driven and noisy. They were work horses and could take a lot of damage and still fly. Several versions were made but the Hueys eventually took over everything that it's size would allow. The CH 47's did most heavy lifting along with the 54 sky cranes. You probably never been around these old relics but boy they could fly.
