Does Johnson hold the record for renaming aircraft projects?
The Blackbird was supposed to be designated RS-71, but Johnson called it “SR-71” so the name was changed.
The Huey was supposed to be the HU-1 (HUey nickname,) but Johnson called it the UH-1 so its name was changed also.
At least that’s the stories I’ve always been told.
Huey though was rationally designated for UH as Utility Helicopter.
