Subdeacon Joe Posted September 9 Posted September 9 I was raised near Camp Pendleton in the '60s and '70s, so these were a common sight. Very distinct sound. 1 1 Quote

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Someone here or nearby has at least six that they fly every so often. The passed overhead at ball game and one old vet almost had a heart attack when he heard them. His friend told him it was a beautiful sound (and I agree 100%) because when you heard that wupwupwupwup it meant help was coming or already there. I had many miles riding Hueys all over south Vietnam. 2 3 Quote
Still hand Bill Posted September 9 Posted September 9 Supposedly that distinctive sound is due to the rotor tips getting close to or even breaking the sound barrier. 1 Quote
