Now aft checking Bell Heli website, confused...

Even I remembered the drama Air Force back in 1988,

the UH-1H is longer... Huey smaller..

Is it true?

In the past , RSAF used three types of Bell UH-1s

UH-1B, UH-1H, and UH-1N (Bell 212)

UH-1B is smaller size , and used mainly for training purpose.

UH-1H is used for assault transport , light gunships ( with GPMGs mounted at side of the doors ) or heavy gunships ( miniguns pod and rockets ) ,

UH-1N ( Bell 212) (longest in length ) , painted with civilian colours ( red and white) is for Search and Rescue missions.

The Huey is initially known as HU-1 : Helicopter Utility - 1

And hence the name HUey.....

Later on, it was designated as UH-1.

The UH-1N or Bell 212s are the ones that "rescue" the ppl from the cable car.

fitted with a winch and got twin engines.

"all" the UH-1 series are collectively known as Huey....

Maybe our retire one can upgrade to this one to continue to serve RSAF.

UH-1 H used to be HU-1 (Helicopter Utility) hence the name Huey.

I just realised i've repeated what some have already stated
