    Hueys are very dependable and still very useful choppers even though they're Vietnam-era aircraft. OV-1 Broncos are also Vietnam-era but are still desired by many air forces. DC3s predate WW2. But many are still flying around.

    With proper maintenance, these aircraft could fly for years more. I'd say it's the weather that was a factor and the Huey shouldn't have been there where it was when it crashed. Even if it was a brand new chopper, it still would've crashed because of the weather.

    Poor weather support. Tsk Tsk.
