Aviation ping.
"The UH1H gunship"
That's no "gunship". That's a "slick" Huey. Judging by it's orange cargo door it was last used for pilot training.

Yup, sure is, and Gun Ships were generally "B" Models, not "H". I got six jumps out of H models.

We also had UH-1M or "Mike" gunships in my last UH-1 unit.

UH stands for Utility Helicoptor. AH stands for Attack Helicoptor. CH stands for Cargo Helicoptor. OH stands for Observation Helicoptor.
Owned, in great part, by MRS. Ladybird Johnson. One good reason for Johnson to have Kennedy killed so that the war could go on.
Huey-Avionics (35K20) ping!

Its in a lot better shape than the one in the museum in Saigon.
That one is pretty well stripped.
Coming soon to a MCAS near you, the UH-1Y and AH-1Z.

It's sad that so many urban parks throughout the current Vietnam have so many such "icons" of a time before they were ready to become capitalistic and at least pro-western once more.
Bush heading there this year!
They might have even offered one of "theirs". POD shipping, of course.
