Hi,
I haven't touched the controls on a Huey in nearly 40 years. And even back then I couldn't keep a hover over a forty acre field :)
Forgot about the hoists. The machines I was familiar with didn't have them by default but we did install a few on medivac D models (none on B's which we did convert to the 540 rotors). Primitive beasts by today's standards. We did occasionally hunt from Hueys, though we used the odd left over M-15 in single shot mode to do so. And we landed before shooting :)
I suspect that the ladies might well want the fun. One must remember one's Kipling :) But wouldn't we want the guts to make our own sausage? Mountain goat sausage, lots of sage, oregano and pepper. Beats a ball park frank any day. Yum.
