We are very excited to introduce our newly developed Huey Redux package, featuring the two primary single engine variants of the famed Huey, the UH-1C & UH-1H. However, the helicopter still remains a common sight in some forces, and the civilian production versions, the 204 & 205 models, remain a valued workhorse in many regions. Primary developments of the UH-1 line resulted in two main airframes: The original UH-1A/B/C “Short Body” version found popularity in an early close support / gunship role, while the follow-on UH-1D/H “Long Body” version filled a vital role in troop carrying and medevac, and was continuously developed and modified into successive versions for a multitude of uses.Īfter a proud 60 years of service, a majority of the Huey variants in the various military forces around the world have been retired or are scheduled for such. Frog, Hog, Slick, Smoke, Guns, Nighthawk, these terms all held meaning and reassurance for troops on the ground. Known far more commonly as the “Huey” (based on the original designation of HU-1), over 16,000 units were manufactured across a wide number of variants.Īlthough the nickname Huey was widely embraced (to the point where the manufacturer took to casting the name on the anti-torque pedals), the variety of role-specific terms within the US Army used to designate the helicopter is a nod to the versatility of this successful rotorcraft. First flown in 1956 but often synonymous with the Vietnam conflict, the venerable UH-1 Iroquois is one of the best known military helicopters of all time.
