Congrats! Great Pics and Good Times I'm sure!

I got about 1000 hours driving a UH-1H like the one in the photo you posted and a "bootleg" hour or two in a AH-1F. I later transitioned to Army fixed wing, but always sorely missed being a helo pilot. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, compares to it.

Which Army fixed wing?

Really cool. My first ride in a Huey was 1958. I was in replacement section waiting to be assigned a unit like many others in the 101st.
They gave us a treat and flew us to the jump school area and we then ran to our assigned unit.
