The Caribou was a blast, loud though :) and with the RAAF's senior Caribou
captain in the right seat a very cool ride. And as he was senior
instructor I logged it too, makes a nice entry in the logbook :)
The Huey, being a helicopter and all, doesn't actually fly....it's sooo
ugly the ground repels it :) My Huey trip was during flight training, I
forget what exactly the were trying to teach...but I suspect it was just so
my instructor could have a yipee in the Huey...he flew them in Vietnam,
before going to fixed wing.
