Bell UH-1H

Pacific Helicopter Tours - Bell UH1H

The UH-1, or Huey, is one of the most recognized aircraft of the Vietnam era. This chopper had a wide variety of uses ranging from medical evacuation to troop transport to gunship.

The first flight of the Huey prototype was on Oct. 22, 1956, as the Bell XH-40-BF. The first Huey flew in service in June, 1959, and went overseas in 1960.

Originally designated HU-1 (Helicopter, Utility, 1) Iroquois by the Army, it began service with the 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division and the 57th Medical Detachment. On Sept. 18, 1962, the Department of Defense passed a regulation requireing the joint service branches to use a uniform designation system. This led to the redesignation of the Huey as the UH-1.

While the Iroquios was the official name, the unofficial nickname of "Huey" stuck in the public -- it stems from the original designation, HU-1 -- and quickly became slang for helicopter.
