A well deserved retirement. The most amazing helicopter ever built! I am glad I had the opportunities to fly in them, only wish I could have crewed them as well.

Seemed like such a good helicopter!

An amazing service life for any military aircraft, more so for a helicopter. Flew in them two or three times - great birds!

I thought Germany still has some operational, don't they?

That thump thump sound will be missed all the newer choppers are so much quieter, used to get hauled into a fishing camp in them

We still use the UH-1H In NZ - bought them new in 1966!
We call them "Wokka wokka's" in the RNZAF... you know, WOKKA-WOKKA-WOKKA-WOKKA-WOKKA-WOKKA... !!!!

The German Heer and Luftwaffe use the UH-1D as well.
There are still going to be small units in the US Army that will use the Huey as well. The OPFOR units here of the US Army here in Germany have Huey's, and I don't see them getting rid of them any time soon.

What a great helicopter, they named it as one of the best out there and it a shame to see it go.

A great machine indeed.

Don't be so premature, my understanding is that the latest version the UH1-Y is being introduced into the Marines for use in Afghanistan.
Yes the Marines will be using the Huey for years and years to come. The contemporary Huey though is being retired from the US Army service.
