And to think our heritage airbase Wigram was just as busy , guess the Huey still has a good few years left in them yet , when the CT-4 s replaced the Harvard's - all and any sign off them appeared to disappear in a week , be worth finding out how much further they have to go .

Another brilliant Ham photo of the girl with the guy hiding behind the pole whoops was the photo supposed to be of the Iroquois????

The Lady behind the Light Pole might take offence at being called a man however.

Just a quick question that's a little OT what is the best Uh-1H for Fsx. Milviz or aerosoft or Dodo or other companys.

The Aerosoft is the more realistic Huey by compare to the Milviz and Dodo died like the great bird ..least have not heard from that group for a very long time .

[Yob]

Thanks Ian and i also love the pictures of the Huey.

[Ian Warren]

Your looking at getting one for your Birthday Elijah , Jeansy has covered the these RNZAF jobbies for both companies products , altho the Milziv better represented ... having many historical RNZAF UH-1H Iroquois paint complete over at OZx .

[Yob]

Na i don't do birthdays they cost too much and so milviz is done better looks better and the likes but aerosoft has better flight dynamics.
