Did Hueys in Vietnam come with a 'Fortunate Son' switch?

Asking for a friend.

That doesn't look like a Huey overhead board that I recall.
Notice the no smoking sign too.
Looks like some one got a little creative with the silkscreen stencils.
I was more of a Ride of the Valkyries type too, but we called it kill the rabbit. the Looney tunes version.

You are supposed to laugh. It's a joke... :lol:
 
Lets be realistic here.
The Huey was possibly the loudest helicopter ever made by man.
We could fly close by in a OH-6 Loach, all the doors off, helmet on, and still hear the Huey over all the wind noise and other noise my own ride was making.
It's so noisy in a Huey the only practical way to communicate inside it by the helmet com., and even when we were talking to anyone flying in a Huey , that noise the Huey made let you know immediately you were talking to someone flying in a Huey.
So do you really think they would add extra chatter to the only way they had to communicate ?

Only in the movies.

You are taking this too seriously. He is pulling your leg. It's all a joke.
