Current UH-1H Stuff
Our company has been doing mods on Huey's for some time, at least 20 years. These mods include the P&W PT6C-67D and LHTEC T800 engines. We have tested various weapons including .50 cal Gatling gun, 40mm automatic grenade launcher, and a 30 mm cannon. We also build a Tail Rotor Enhancement Kit (TREK). We sell a vertical fin spar replacement, also. We just sold our Huey without the engine, which was used for a test bed. She was use in a record long distance flight, from Oxnard, CA to Robbins, GA non-stop, non refueled.
Personnally, I have been flying since 67 and in Huey's for some of that time. I have flown the tests as well as TV, movies, and lately for the State of Oklahoma in their marijuana eradication efforts. So I still get 50-100 hours in a standard UH-1H every year.
When I go to an airport, I always get a visitor or two usually a Vietnam vet that has some good or bad experience to talk about. The movie people like them because of that unforgetable blade whop and the Huey profile.
