Getting a Huey to be put on display next to the Cabin got started in 2016. At the time, I think I was the only Vietnam Huey pilot in the Osseo American Legion and VFW; in fact the only Vietnam Huey crewmember. As there were a LOT of Hueys in Vietnam, most of the Vietnam veterans have flown in the Huey. The Huey being restored flew with the 173rd Assault Helicopter Company, the Robinhoods. I flew with the 121st Assault Helicopter Company, the Soc Trang Tigers. Here's a few of my Vietnam photos from my first tour, Jan 1967 thru Jan 1968. |
