In the process of learning about the various systems on the Huey, I'm also getting a history lesson on the way things used to be. This helicopter is nearly an antique.
The Huey was first accepted by the Army in 1956. What were you doing in 1956? I wasn't even a thought at that time.
Smoking was allowed while flying the Huey until the late 80's. It was disbanded because there were too many burn marks on the floors. The Hueys we fly still have ash trays in the dash.
The clock on board must be wound up for power. Needless to say, the only digital item on this helicopter is my wristwatch!
