As for rotaty-wings, my vote goes to the UH-1 Huey, for defining
the the role of the helicopter in modern combat and rescue, and
for beeing perhaps the most famous helicopter of all times.


Yes, definitely the Huey. I spent as many Huey hours helicopter skiing
in Canada as I did hitchhiking around Vietnam, but it is the heat and
the rain forest that give me a flash when I hear the whump-whump of
those Huey rotors overhead.

Speaking of longevity -- surely an important factor in living in
history -- the army has just ordered a new iteration of the Huey. Or
so I recall from a recent Aero-News email.

all the best -- Dan Ford
