the UH-1N, the modern Huey, has a 11,197lbs takeoff weight. it only weights unladen about 4360lbs - max fuel load is 242 US. Gal. weighing in at 1615lbs. I weigh 215lbs, and one armed guard / pusher-outer weighs say another 200lbs.
This means the basic weight we're working with is 6389lbs. the UH-1N can be configured for up to 13 passengers - this means that 12 300lb commies are 3600lbs, bringing our weight to 9,989lbs.
Well under safe takeoff, but delaying our ascent, resulting in an approximately 20 minute climb to average operating altitude of 7500ft, so i recommend that we ascend to only 2500ft, as it takes most people 1500ft or 12 seconds to achieve terminal velocity when falling.
The extra 1000ft should allow for the extra drag coefficient of a fat landwhale commie - and ensure maximum florence-oregon-whale-levels of gibbing.
Oh. Well, now we have specifics. The only issue I see is you've assumed the weight of the Commies in question to be a reasonable 300 lbs. Oh no. Oh no no no no. We're talking 450 - 500 lbs + here. Verifiable mobility scooter user. With that math, maybe we could fit 7, at most?
