Loach Driver Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Does anyone have any info on this antenna on the skids of this Huey? Is this possibly a C&C Huey or just a late-war Huey with an extra radio? Given its location, I guess it can be assumed it isn't a lift ship. Thanks. LD.

Rod, any info about this FAS huey? any more photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salvador001 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Charlie, That is UH-1H FAS-265 (69-15666). It was delivered to El Salvador on August 1982, was written off on October 1983 due to a crash landing. It was delivered without the Aircraft Survavility kit but as you see in the photo, it came with the APR-39 mounts. The bird was painted in a mid faded CARC and had all original U.S. Army stencils. Main rotor mast, pitch tubes, swash plate , stab bar, etc was painted natural metal finish and gray, the rotor hub was black so as the main blades. Tail rotor blades were olive drab and hub was natural metal. The Salvadorean roundel in the tail boom and the 3 digit tail number in clear gray. Interior was cockpit black with black pilot seats, cabin was gray with olive drab seat fabric. The M23 armament system as you can see was painted olive drab with U.S. stencils. I have another photo of this one, ill post it later. Rod. Edited June 8, 2017 by salvador001 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The last to be retired from the GA-NG I have no stake in the GA-NG, but, my badge number is 422 and it would be cool to get that on a decal sheet. Just a coincidence I suppose.

Hm, how do 118th Aviation Company (white & red) and Company A, 501st Aviation Battalion (white & yellow) differ from 118th Aviation Company (dayglo and green) and Company A, 501st Aviation Battalion (dayglo and blue)?
