Will Killya Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If it was blue with "United State of America" on it, someone likely thought that it was Marine 1. The crazies are out there and they're going to do more and more crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Didn't know any Hueys were still in regular service. Glad to see the old darlin's are still working. I hope they find the pukes who did this and if it is Antifa an airstrike on their HQ is called for..... or at least an armed ground attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air Force is scheduled to replace them soon. From Defense News Quote In an upset, a Boeing-Leonardo team has won a $2.38 billion contract to manufacture a new batch of helicopters to replace the Air Force’s UH-1N Huey used to guard the service’s nuclear missile silos.Boeing and Leonardo’s MH-139, a militarized version of the commercial AW139 manufactured by Leonardo subsidiary AgustaWestland in Philadelphia, beat out Lockheed Martin Sikorsky and Sierra Nevada Corp., which both offered versions of the UH-60 Black Hawk — which some analysts saw as the service’s aircraft of choice going into the competition.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Still have some Hueys around here, maybe Air NG. I can still identify the sound even without my hearing aids. Sounds like someone friendly is looking out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 As always, I am hoping for felony charges, convictions and long prison sentences. As always, I am disappointed.
