    well, at least the Marines still operate the UH-1Ns and UH-1Ys.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    And the USAF 89th Airlift Wing still flies the Hueys around DC/Md.

    BTW the old joke is that when the last UH60 Blackhawk is flown to the boneyard a Huey will fly the crew out. :)
