HUEY HISTORY

The UH-1H Huey Helicopter, famous for it’s very unique, unmistakable and unforgettable ‘whopp-whopp-whopp’ of the rotor blades, is manufactured by Bell Helicopter. The Huey still remains as one of the most identifiable symbols of the Vietnam War. Also known as the “Hotel” model Huey, this UH-1H helicopter 68-16563 or ‘563’ turbine engine aircraft was rescued from the Emergency Medical Institute out of Maine in 2005. Machine guns were mounted on this versatile aircraft as part of an air assault initiative. It was also used as an air ambulance, carrying injured soldiers and casualties of war. Manufactured in 1968, the ‘563’ served for several tours of duty in Vietnam including the 1/9^th , 2/20^th Air Cavalry, and the 117th Air Assault Divisions from 1969-1971.
