A B model Huey with an L13 in it should be a rocket ship.  Of course, saying that any Huey is a rocket ship is almost beyond imagination.  You can put a rocket on a pig, but it's still a pig.

When I ETS'd in '92, 25th ID had a mix of UH=1s and UH-60s. There were no Apaches yet. We were still flying the AH-1s with the mini-gun/grenade launcher turret.

Many years ago, I had a chance to go try out a re-engined Huey at Fort Rucker...GE was trying to get a program launched to re-engine bunches of Hueys with T700s. That particular "pig" had quite a lot of giddyup. They never did do the program, though...

The 7.62 minigun/40mm combo was pretty wicked, wasn't it? We traded S models for F's and ECAS models, and I was not a fan of the 20mm.

Remember kids: when they fly the last UH-60 to the boneyard, they'll fly the crew home in a Huey.

The 20mm on the -F model was a lot of fun to shoot. It was a powerful gun.

I never had a chance to fly with the 7.62mm/40mm, though.
