UH-1H Bell Huey First Flights HD

These are the first flights of the UH-1H Huey of the Indiana Air Search and Rescue after 5 1/2 years and countless hours of restoring it back to flying condition. This Vietnam serviced aircraft will now once again fly in air shows and will be used for search and rescue. For more info, go to IASAR.org

**Thank you to everyone for all of the comments. It took so much hard work to bring it back to tip top shape. We have an amazing crew and we all work so hard to keep this bird flying and looking pretty**

Tail rotor should be on the right side.....This must be a good fake....

@Hugonorge08 Actually, No, since this Huey is an original Vietnam issue. Moving the tail rotor to the right side was only incorporated later after the war. Moving it to the right side was done to increase the effectiveness of it. If you look most original war Huey's, the tail rotors are all on the left side.

One of the best helipcopters ever, is that retired?

[Flyerboy05]

@1staircavalry yes it is retired from the military. It is now for search and rescue by a private search and rescue organization. The Indiana Air Search and Rescue

@Boltneck77 thank you!

@PCGAMEfreak - you've got some good taste in aircraft there.....I like it.

[Boltneck77]

Mate, that is a NICE restoration...looks nice and fresh.....sounds it too. Did you restore it back original specs, or did you do little upgrades with later equipment in it?

[sbentjies]

Awesome!! Fantastic guys!

[mdharfman]

Where did you find this Huey before you restored it?Great video!

[Nanito956]

1:14 Main rotor Unbalance, is that normal?

[abl78]

Very nice restoration job,but the music was unnecessary to complement the sound of the Huey.

@PCGAMEfreak Red Baron's plane was the Fokker DR1 Triplane. Not a good plane for inexperienced pilots, it probably killed as many German pilots as it did British or French pilots. For a WW1 fighter, I prefer the Fokker D7, so feared it's the only plane mentioned in the Treaty of Versailles.
