What is your favorite flying machine?

As medic, I wholeheartedly agree with 1LT Sandy Annala. Second to the Huey is a m113

SSgt (Join to see). It was also very reassuring to see so many flying in combat groups.
See particularly the heroism of Dustoff Pilot Michael Novosel at 38:30 minutes below:

We lost way too many of these brave young Dustoff Pilots and Crews.
Warmest Regards, Sandy

Jumped a Huey a number of times, 1LT Sandy Annala! Always a fun and easy jump!

We used Hueys Painted RED with White US Navy on the sides in Antarctica. They were used for local ops to take Scientific parties to and from base camps and sometimes upon return to McMurdo, we could catch a hop back to the base from the Ice Runway about 2 hours away by surface transportation.

I always liked it when the pilot or copilot would spot a pod of Killer Whales and drop to the deck in a couple of seconds, trying to upset the pax, never bothered me, but did some.

If I get back in, my goal is to be on board these birds when they go out on mission from Rosecrans Air Nat'l Guard Base as a member of the Phoenix Ravens!

I use to love the cool fighters, Spade, Fokker, P51, but then I found out my mom built B-17s and B-24s during the war, that makes them my all time favorites.

SR71

The flight path on their return recon mission was right over Camp Schwab. I loved watching them fly overhead.

Yep, me too!

I spent 3 years in VF124,the F14 RAG ,as an instructor. My last deployment was with VF21 flying the F14 Topcat.

I agree, Capt (Join to see), but we're spending all our money on the stinking F35 for some reason.

GySgt Joe Strong, there's a thread that shows where OV-10s were used for airborne training operations. I'll try to find it and tag you.

You sir, are awesome.
