More about this Huey Helicopter
Huey 509 was purchased by the US Army in 1972 and joined the 129th Assault Helicopter Company in Vietnam in July 1972.
Records show she flew 559 combat hours before returning to the US in 1973. Between 1973 and 1996 she served with the Army National Guard, US Army Troop support and Aviation Readiness Command and the USARASF. She was sent to the Aerospace Maintenance Central facility in Arizona in 2000.
Huey Helicopter UK purchased Huey 509 in 2003 and commissioned her full restoration. In 2005 she landed on UK soil!
Since then we have attended many air shows and events across the country and are now delighted to be able to offer Flight Experiences in this iconic aircraft.
