Isn’t the official name the Iroquois? I believe “Huey” is a nickname because it’s a UH-1 or HU-1.
To: JohnBrowdie
Huey is a contraction of numeric designation UH-1, utility helicopter.
Official name is Iriquois.

"huey?"Slang for UH-1D. Utility Helicopter.
To: JohnBrowdie
“Huey” comes from Vietnam and Hollywood. The offfical name is UH1 Iroquois and that’s how we learned it in the Army. I’m glad to see it’s official name used for a change.
To: JohnBrowdie
IIRC Huey is just as bastardization of the aircraft designation “UH-1”

UH-1 Iroquois Is the given name for the Huey.
It was first designated HU-1 hence branded "Huey" by the troops.

UH-1H, Huey, best helicopter ever built, low tech, versatile, adaptable, forgiving, and tough. I’m kinda biased tho, 8 years in the Army as a crew chief. :)
To: JohnBrowdie
It was originally designated HU-1 Iroquois from which the nickname “huey” comes from.
