Answer 2

They are apples and oranges.

The Huey was designed as a civilian aircraft in the 1950s that was pressed into war because there was nothing else available at the time.

The Lynx was built in the 1980s and was the result of years of research and millions of pounds spent to make a high performance utility helicopter.

A Huey can do nearly the same job for a fraction of the price.  The Lynx is much faster (but might as well be standing still in the face of an aerial or missile threat).

Answer 3

Lynx,more maneuverable,faster,and one of the few that can do a loop,fantastic array of weaponry,whilst the Huey is a plodding workhorse in caparison.

Answer 4

The Huey was the brink of the helicoper era. it was the first turbine powered helicopter. the lynx is also a good helo but it is newer and more sophistocated. so they are not comparable they are both the best of its time.

Answer 5

They Huey is an old reliable workhorse but the Lynx has also proved its worth as a potent weapon..

I used to overhaul Lynx equipment; PFC's, Gearboxes and Rotorheads, undercarriages, doors, winches......etc, for Army and RN Lynx

Answer 6

Over three thousand hours in hueys. O in lynx. Doesn't matter which is best to me. An H model Huey got me through Vietnam so we're friends for life. Great that a lynx can do a loop. Wow. Don't know why that matters in a helicopter but wow.

Answer 7

both are excellent utility helicopters, and are both quite versatile. either one would be an excellent choice to build a chopper force around. that said, these days i would choose the lynx  as it is a much newer design.

Answer 8

Huey by far.

'nam, 'nuff said.

Answer 9

i suppose that depends on the mission as the lynx is very nimble and fast little bugger and very quiet. the huey is all round practical with better cargo/ passenger capabilities. the huey also has a larger selection of weapons fits compared to most helos. So my vote in most instances would be the Huey.
