thatguy96 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Not sure if we've seen this before, but it was new to me. This is a picture of a UH-1 with the Left Bank ARDF setup.

Chief Snake Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) These aircraft were seldom photographed. I have a friend who flew in the 11th GS Aviation Company of the 1st Cav. The RR Company was the 371st and had the Left Bank equipment which you see installed on the 11th Avn Huey. The white symbol you see on the door is the company identifier. The man standing next to the door is my friend Carlos. He gifted me the yellow patch you see sewn on his nomex shirt. There were two other Left Bank units in Vietnam, one with 4th Infantry (374th RRC) and one later with the 101st Airborne (265th RRC).

Michael A. Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Left Bank Aircraft At some point in the early 1970s JUH-1H, 70-15869, a Left Bank configured aircraft, was assigned to the General Support Platoon of the 229th AHB and operated out of Bien Hoa. This aircraft was ultimately involved in an accident that resulted in a dynamic rollover onto its right side. If my research reveals more on this subject I will pass it along.

snake36bravo Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Here is the array that went into the Left Bank Hueys. The seats used I read were from an M113 APC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Don't look like seats from any -113 I was ever in but regardless, those are very interesting pictures. Thank you very much for posting! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
