It is sad indeed to see, a one time undisputed leader in the Aviation industry come unravelled by greed from all levels. The quest for the "money tree" has led to its demise. Charleston has so much more to offer, until the next hurricane.
Sad, that all good things must come to an end! What a Majestic aircraft. My first flight on a 747 was right after finishing Helicopter flight school in '71. I was astounded, that Boeing was able to build such an aircraft. Just the thought of how many Huey helicopters it could carry at one time, and the overall capability was astonishing. An era, that the flying public will never experience again.
One of the most durable and versatile helicopters in the U.S. Army inventory! I saw it come into service in the 11th Air Assault Div (Test) in Feb '64, and prove itself in Vietnam with the 1st Air Cav, and became rated in models: A - D in Sep '71.
