Huey Door Gunners Bring the Pain

Jason Hyatt No Comments Military Aviation

This is a great video if you like watching ridiculous amounts of lead getting thrown around! The video takes place over Yodaville, a mock town/village near Yuma, AZ.

This brief snippet is part of a larger exercise called WTI or Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course, which Curt Jans covered in a fantastic series of articles earlier this year. As we’ve shown you on numerous occasion, we have tremendous respect for the rotary-wing community, for they bring capabilities to the fight only they can.

Huey door gunners are certainly no exception and we’re excited to share this unique perspective with you. This clip is of the Huey gunners bringing the pain during urban Close Air Support operations.

Semper Fi, Marines!

About the Author

Jason Hyatt is an aerospace industry professional with over 10 years of experience in the military and commercial aviation sectors. Born and raised in the Southwest United States, an area blessed with over 300 days of sunshine per year, he is fortunate to have been in and around aviation his entire life. After a brief stint as a semi-professional soccer player in the early 2000's, he realized his desire to live and work in aviation. While working for Boeing IDS (now BDS) in 2005, he first picked up a camera and started experimenting with aviation photography and photojournalism. As a freelance aviation photojournalist, he has been able to stay close to military aviation, his primary area of interest.
