No idea, its not the new Super Huey though. Still a 2 bladed main rotor. USMC standard Huey I guess, whatever the HML sends over for us to use.

Those Helos came in really slow, and probably threw ropes too soon.

@randomhero4u69 yea actually, im in the Marines and have been for 7 years. and yes it is training.

To answer all the comments; this was the first time doing it, we are a boat company not a helo company. Yes, this was ridiculously slow, yes the ropes went too soon, yes the HRST Master did it wrong. This was just something to kill time in Okinawa when were got extended for a year there on the 31st MEU.

I really wish someone would have got hurt, because that HRST Master would have fried. Apparently 10 ft of rope on the deck is optional.
