Goodbye Huey
its Auf Widersehn pet finally as more H145M LUH SAR is replacing the legacy in the Bundeswehr / Heeresflieger.
If it was not for covid pandemic from last year I would gone back to Aero Friedrichshafen to see the special painted Heeresflieger UH-1D on its tour. As it happens thankfully few years back at ILA 2018 as with previous ILA, managed to see the UH-1D SAR (my pics below) https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....5523694dc7.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c46dd2e19d.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....49ed72cbde.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....80c794f145.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....80cda2dc5e.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....65e831caf4.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....b2da11e4cc.jpg Cheers |
Time for the Valkyries:

I was concerned that this was an obituary...

UH-1D? Does it still have an L-11 engine? Looks like the pitot tube is on the roof.

Here you can see the pitot tube on the nose and the wire cutters top & bottom on my Bell 205:

That's a beautiful paint scheme. hopefully they'll put it in a museum just as it is. A couple of question if I may, what is that object fitted to the tip of the upper cable cutter and, what is the object fitted between the upper anti-collision light and the engine cowls?

Huey Museum It's a GPS antenna on the upper cablecutter skadi |
Many happy memories flying it at Penzing. My favourite ride by far.

Dornier assembled and maintained the German ones. The German Navy refused to accept theirs and handed them over to Bundesgrenzschutz Federal Border Police, with Bundesmarine finally opting for Sea Kings.

Nice looking Huey. My point was the UH-1D has a nose mounted pitot tube, T-53 L-11 engine. UH-1H has a roof mounted pitot and a T53 L-13. The D's that were converted to H retained the nose mounted tube. Does your UH-1 have the BLR Fast Fin?

The D’s pitot tube was atop the cockpit, not on the nose.
|
Gordy, does that machine have the tail rotor on the left, rotating down at the front? I thought the flip-flop tail rotor was part of the fast fin/strake modification, so the blade is on the right side, rotating up at the front?

They were built as UH-1H but called UH-1D |

I speculate UH-1D (Dornier)

Or Deutschland?

Excellent pictures! Great up-close image of the hoist, cabin, and rescue gear.

One type of Huey maybe...But the twin Huey lives on.
Three XH-40 prototypes were built, followed by six YH-40 service test aircraft. The designation of the XH-40 was soon changed to XHU-1.
This helicopter was the prototype of what would be known worldwide as the “Huey.” The helicopter was designated by the U.S. Army as HU-1, but a service-wide reorganization of aircraft designations resulted in that being changed to UH-1. Produced for both civil and military customers, it evolved to the Model 205 (UH-1D—UH-1H), the twin-engine Model 212 (UH-1N), the heavy-lift Model 214, and is still in production 62 years later as the twin-engine, four-bladed, glass-cockpit Model 412EPI and the UH-1Y. Otter :rolleyes: |
