BaD CrC Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, Our annual Back Shark Den meeting 2018 was held near Hampton GA, at the Army Aviation Heritage foundation on Henry country airport. We rent a 1968 Huey UH-1H for a spin. It was a complete blast! Our pilot was a Vietnam veteran with a lot of combat experience and we spent the entire day, along with all the really kind volunteers at AAHF asking all the questions we ever wanted to ask to real life Huey pilots. The first video of this meeting is a 360 degrees one shot on a GoPro fusion we installed inside the cockpit. Check out the full startup procedure and the flow that goes with it. Real pro stuff. Also, our pilots were kind enough to demonstrate all the questions we had about the Huey: EGT, OGE, IGE, ETL, pattern... It was just awesome. Many more videos to come of the unforgettablel day with AAHF.

20thBG_Blackwolf Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) That was the best weekend I've had in a long time. I got to meet the guys I've been flying with for years and got to ride in a Huey. The people at AAHF were just amazing. They spent most of Saturday with us, letting us climb all through the Huey and the Cobras. Great day with good friends!

fargo007 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 It was definitely steadier and smoother, I can say that. It was also faster as well. Even with nine people in it. We didn't fly in them (yet) but they have THREE AH-1S Cobras there. With this coming out in DCS, a trip to AAHF becomes even more compelling. They were also very interested in DCS and will probably be setting up a simulator there. They asked us a lot of questions as well. If you are into these aircraft and not too far away it would be stupid not to come visit this fantastic place. If you are into the aircraft and ask a lot of technical questions, they will start talking and will keep going until long after you are out of the driveway. Buy a Tee shirt or a Hat and help keep these historic and awesome aircraft flying. On the maintenance side they had a Huey and a Cobra getting rebuilt/worked on. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaFox Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Great video! indeed the Huey looked faster than in the sim, i think it looks more submissive because IRL the pilot has seat of the pants feel. Really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted July 20, 2018 Author Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hey you're welcome! Yes, we got some shots from inside the cockpit during the flight that I still have to edit. We were flying happily around 110kt with 2 pilots and BSD staff on board and we were nowhere close to max torque/EGT. The Huey's engine in DCS is usually blowing up at this speed. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebabil Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 i hope we will get a huey flies like this eventually. look at his approach and taxi! if i take my hands off the stick for a second, my huey tries to make an immelman manuever lol FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_Rising Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 i hope we will get a huey flies like this eventually. look at his approach and taxi! if i take my hands off the stick for a second, my huey tries to make an immelman manuever lol Keep in mind these guys have thousands of hours in the Huey and as former combat aviators flying was the easiest part of the job. Also they kept the force trim off so they never took their hands off the controls if they would have it probably would have tried doing an Immelmann as you described.

BaD CrC Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 While we were talking to the pilots and mechanics, they confirmed the cyclic to be extremely sensitive. As they said, "if you think about turning, you already did". I am putting together all the videos of the discussions we had with those guys. It's a bit long, but there are tons of info to get. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
