Huey

Michael Grayson had dreams of being a helicopter pilot since he was a kid back in the late 1950s. All he dreamt about was flying helicopters and these dreams grew from watching the Whirlybirds TV show. So after he graduated high school, he joined the Army in 1968. After basic training, he was sent off to learn how to fly Army choppers. Michael survived the intense Army flight training programs at Fort Wolters and Fort Rucker. Afterwards, he was assigned to Vietnam where he witnessed the horrors of flying a Huey during war and losing friends, loved ones, and discovered betrayal.

Note: This story is dedicated to all those brave young men that flew Hueys and to the crew members that lost their lives in the Vietnam War.
