Huey FireFighter Chopper

Although originally designed for the US Army,
the Bell Iroquois has become a general purpose workhorse of a
helicopter. It is ideal for operation as an executive transport, but
has proven to be very successful as a flying crane, ambulance, or
rescue helicopter. Equipped with an external belly tank, the Huey is an
excellent fire fighter. Due of their size and maneuverability, they are
able to get a fire contained in some very challenging topography. With
the recent rise in wildfires, this has become even more important. Cal
Fire and Washington State’s Dept of Natural Resources have found the
Huey to be a valuable addition to their emergency response teams.

Huey Gunship Chopper

During the 1960’s, the lack of effective close
air support aircraft led to the creation of the UH-1B “Huey” Gunship.
Fitted with various guns, these armed helicopters were used quite
successfully in Southeast Asia. Your model is fitted with two
exteranlly mounted .50 caliber machine gun pods. The “Huey” is the most
universal military aircraft of the modern era, serving in all four
branches of the American uniformed services and also in the armed
forces of at least 48 other nations.
