On October 20th 1956, the UH-1C, one of the most iconic helicopters in history made its maiden flight. The Huey gained fame during the Vietnam War, where it provided fire support, assisted with resupply missions, transported troops, and evacuated the wounded. This versatile helicopter also found extensive use in peacetime; in total, more than 16,000 UH-1 units were built and operated by dozens of countries around the world.

About this helicopter

• The UH-1C XM-30 variant differs from other versions of the helicopter in that it has access to 30 mm XM140 cannons. It can also be equipped with an M75 40 mm grenade launcher, an M134 7.62 mm machine gun, FFAR Mighty Mouse rockets and BGM-71C Improved TOW missiles. While not the fastest helicopter, it is highly maneuverable and capable of carrying a significant payload.
