Clearly that is the aircraft we are the most excited about, but:
"Three major helicopter types will be modeled in the game. The workhorse of the Air Cav, the UH1 Iroquois will probably do the yeoman's work in this sim. Most of us know that this helicopter, considered by many to be the first true practical combat helicopter, is planned for use in this game as an air transport vehicle, air ambulance, and hasty ground attack vehicle.
Other planned helicopters include the CH 46 or 47, the twin bladed Chinook that is used as a heavy air transport. Also planned is an early version of the AH1 Cobra gunship; which made an appearance late in the conflict and struck terror in the hearts of the North Vietnamese", (Tom Cofield).
So "Huey!" would not do the game justice. I still like Porkchop's, "Garryowen: Air Cav Over VietNam". Trouble is, unfortunately, Garryowen would be lost on non-US players, I think. I only recognized it from having seen the John Wayne film, "The Searchers". What about "LZ Vietnam: Death From Above".
