TBM-Legend; see this link: Bell Helicopter - The Bell UH-1H (Huey II)

Why buy an expensive new aircraft for roles which are arguably better performed by existing wholly-owned hardware that can be cost-effectively upgraded through an ongoing factory program with long-term supportability?

Parking very usable Iroquois as monuments will just be a criminal waste of valuable defence assets.

The USAF ordered 24 Huey II with a glass cockpit option; Iraq has since ordered 16 and will upgrade another 16 of their UH-1H.
