Huey helicopter
Iconic military chopper
The Huey is a military helicopter developed by Bell in the late 1950s, officially designated UH-1 Iroquois.
The nickname comes from its original designation HU-1.
The Huey became iconic during the Vietnam War, where its distinctive rotor sound accompanied countless combat missions, troop insertions, and medical evacuations.
The silhouette of Hueys ferrying soldiers remains a defining image of that conflict.
