Is anyone able to point to a listing of Hueys produced (particularly military) serial numbers by model (B,C,D,H). Either military serial (eg 64-12846) or Bell production number (eg 3101).

Trying to unravel some differences in data, authoritative sources most welcome. Seems even the FAA may have incorrect serials.

Thanks Guys.

I emailed these guys a couple years ago: Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association (http://www.vhpa.org/)
Wanted to know about my ole Huey. They said they had a CD with all the serial numbers they would sell me. Never bought it. :(

As for the B205, A1 and B's you will go from 30001 to 30352 or 54. I flew the last B205A1 ever made, (German registered aircraft) but can't remember if the serial number finished by 30352 or 54.

Also I believe that 4 of those serial#'s are B205B.

Bell's website should be able to help you with this.

SAS, yes many an hour in that particular airframe. Had the large fuel tank (same as a C) and carried drop tanks as well - fly all day.

The 64- serial was one I pulled out of the air.

Thanks to all for the leads.

I see that you have maintenance records for this helicopter. I work at March Field Air Museum in Riverside, CA where it is on display. Would you be willing to donate them?

Unless it has hitherto unheard of 'inaccuracies', Jos Stevens 'Rotorspot-B205 production list' has the ultimate built B205A-1 as sn 30332.
The latest sn D-reg (Agrarflug) 205 was 30318.It was followed by 14 built for the Philippines.
