Hi everyone! I do appologise for disappearing, but I've had a few hectic days. It is SO HOT in the Cape! It was 43 degrees yesterday and 36 in the shade. Anyhow, I know we've covered helicopters before, but this is a helicopter with a difference. Not your average commercial helis, but a VIETNAM HUEY HELI!Yes, these are the real deals! First used for combat in the 1963 Vietnam war and later used for Medevac,
air assaults, gun ships, utility and evacuation. You'll recall seeing these helis in movies such as PLATOON and WE WERE SOLDIERS.
The Hueys that you'll be flying in, have done 2 tours in Vietnam and spent time at Fort Rucker, training pilots.
The heli was later purchased, then stolen and used during Hurrican Katrina withouth permission from the owner. The heli has since been returned to its rightful owner.
The Hueys now fly over the Cape Peninsula. Tours from 15 - 60 min. Enjoy the thrill of low flying, manoeuvring through the Blouberg Hills and experience an andrenalin rush combat tour in the skys of the beautiful Cape.
Tours are from R1 800 p/p. Contact +27 021 419 4839 or you can visit :
