I have had the privilege to have met and work with some of the members of the 091 foundation on one of their disable veterans hunt. Thanks for all the support you give our military personnel, veterans and disabled veterans and I consider it a privilege to know you guys. Many of you are veterans yourselves, which we all owe a debt of gratitude. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do and have done to make this the greatest country in the history of the world.

My Dad served in WWII in the Air Force but I have never served in the military. Currently I work for American Airlines and serve as the USA Home Team Coordinator for the 86th Combat Support Hosptials in Baghdad and Mosul. Our group of volunteers send care packages to our military serving in our US Army hospitals and their patients. Our pride and respect go from all of us to all of you for your service to our country. Just in case your Vietnam veterans did not hear it at the airport when they returned to the USA "Welcome Home, We are Proud of you!!!"

I was in Vietnam 15 months (1964 - 1965)and flew as crew chief on UH-1B helicopters. The first 6 months I crewed the recovery helicopter "Road Service" assigned to the 544th and the rest of my tour with the Cobra Platoon assigned to the 114th. Great web site. The Bell Cobra was named after our UH-1B "Cobras".

I attended the Patriot Fest in Lakeway, Texas last month and learned about your fantastic organization there. Do you make visits to individual schools, and if so, how can I contact you to schedule a visit? I am planning an event in Sunset Valley, Texas in June of 2008 in honor of Bob Horrigan who was killed in action in Iraq on June 17, 2005. We are establishing a foundation in his honor to raise funds to assist the needs of our wounded veterans. I would like to include the Sunset Valley Elementary School in our event.
Thank you for all that you are doing!
Please let me know if a visit might be possible.

On behalf of myself and the Cold War Veterans Association I would like to thank all involved in preserving and honoring this great Aircraft for future generations. The Huey is a American Icon. Its service record speaks for itself from Vietnam to Afghanistan and every possible mission imaginable.

I am an Infantry Sergeant in the US Army, currently at Brooke Army Medical Center. I was injured and burned severely by a suicide bomber in Kandahar, Afghanistan on July 24, 2006. This foundation seems great. I was informed of it from another combat wounded friend of mine. Thanks for all you do.

I'm very impressed with the 091 mission and I think it's exciting to see a Huey being used to educate the people. Lord knows they need it! I'm working on a "Huey-type" project right now which is going to be crazy. My uncle was rescued in Vietnam 36yrs. ago by a UH-1H medevac, and I've succeeded in locating that whole crew!! We hope to reunite evryone this year some time. I'd like to fly an H-model in, anyone have one? Email me...Thanks for serving!

The Collings Foundation at Ellington Field, Houston Texas, is completing the restoration of a UH-1E. We are ready for flight testing and are in the process of getting final FAA Approvals as well as liability insurance.
We plan on providing flight experiences for folks in the future but insurance rates may keep us grounded. If you have any leads as to insurance underwriters or companies that will insure a UH-1 please email me. We could use your experience in this area.
Thanks,
Don

logged over two thousand hours in hueys from 1984 to 1992. It truly is the workhorse of army aviation and holds court with the likes of the c-130 and p-51. I am glad I did not transition out of it into a blackhawk or other. Do you pilots remember the time when you realized that you were strapping the huey to your ass instead of strapping your ass into it? Thats when flying became magical and an extension of your thought process. I flew the huey in twenty or so different states and two foreign countries with the army wish every day I could do it all over again. Keep the greasy side down...Mike Olson

I was a naval aviator that went through Ft. Rucker on my way to HAL-3 in 1972. Fortunately or unfortunately HAL-3 was decommissioned as I was about to leave CONUS. I have nothing but fond memories of teh 500 plus hours I have in Hueys and would love to do it again.
My time in Vietnam was spend in H-3 flying supplies and people in country from the ships on Yankee station and have the utmost respect for all of those that had to live there day in and day out. Thanks for this site which allows us to remember all of the brave military people that served during a very trying time in our great nation.

Hi, My partner is a Huey fanatic, its his 50th birthday next year and I was hoping to be able to get him a ride in a Huey, so far im not doing so good. I dont mind where we have to travel to for him to do this. Can anyone help me please. I have read some of the enteries in your guest book and it seems that everyone who has had any dealing with the Huey, falls in love with it!

I am the PROUD daughter of William Terry Allen.
UH-1H pilot, kia 12/4/67. I am in need of assistance. I am looking to find a Huey for our Veterans Day celebration. Operation Welcome Home. To take place Nov 11, 2006. ANYONE with any suggestions, PLEASE email me or call me. We also are in need of sponsorships. If I can somehow help make this happen, I can't think of a better way to honor my Dad who LOVED flying that helicopter. Thanks to ALL the servicemen and their sacrifice. Kate Lacroix 661-212-2519
