The Army stopped teaching the Huey at Ft. Rucker, Alabama, last spring. Most all of the flight students at that time were from other nations. There is a company in Ozark, Al., that refurbishes them for sale to foreign countries so I’ll occasionally see or hear one on its final check ride prior to shipping. Last one I saw was headed to Colombia, SA.

I’ve been a bit surprised the Marines have held on to this “old” chopper technology for so long, but it apparently meets their needs, both tactically and budget-wise.

Big difference between the original Huey and the UH-1Y.
