Fly in a Huey Helicopter While In Cape Town

This is an awesome video of the Huey Helicopter.  The video is of a ride that’s available in Cape Town, Africa.  The riders get to ride in a Huey that’s flown as a pilot would have flown in the Vietnam War.  The video is well put together and has some great inside and outside shots of the Huey Helicopter.

I know I want to get to Cape Town and go for a ride!  Looks like a ton of fun! I can’t imagine how much fun it would be to buzz the beach and treetops in a real Huey Helicopter. I’m sure it would be a memory that would last a lifetime!
