Hey Guys,
Thought I would show you my new addition. 1965 UH-1E Huey.
Really a nice bird. Just bought it and i am going to put it on a boat trailer to tow it 300 miles back to Annapolis Md. I have seen others do it, so I am going to try. This bird last flew in 2005. Its be decladed scrap, removed with the FAA, the forest service removed the data plates. I want to restore it to orginal configuration and tow it to the shows. Looks like the govt spent alot of $$ on it . Everything looks new! Very complete Bird! The shaft to the trans was removed so no one can take it for a ride. (I have it) I plan on runnning it up on the trailer at the shows. It would be really loud and cool!. I plan on using it to raise $$ for the veterans. calanders, shows, etc..One day i might put the driveshaft in and see if it will fly!. I got some pics of it flying with the forestery..
PS, anyone know where to find Green Paint "34097" Beft Mgf co,. for this bird?
I dont know where to start looking.
Also, If anyone has a gun mount, that would be on the list.
Updates next week when i pick it up.
Kevin..
ps, Any history on this bird would be Great!
Serial number # 151858
FAA# N121FC
I can t find a tail number when it was with the marines.
I think 192 were made..Dont know how many are left,..
