RARE OPPORTUNITY TO FLY IN HUEY #354!
Perhaps there is no more iconic symbol of the Viet Nam War than the venerable UH-1 Huey helicopter. On Monday, July 29th, Tuesday, July 30th and Thursday, August 1st, Huey #354 will be 
available
for rides from 9 AM until 4 PM at the Fond Du Lac County Airport, 260
S. Rolling Meadows Drive in Fond Du Lac. Huey #354 is part of the Army
Aviation Heritage Foundation and will also be appearing as part of the
air show at AirVenture this year.
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, known by all as the Huey, first flew in 1956 and was the first helicopter powered by a turbo shaft engine that controlled the two bladed main rotor as well as the tail rotor. The UH-1 went into full production in 1960 and over 16,000 Huey’s were produced. The first combat service for the Huey, in 1963, was in Viet Nam and the US Army utilized the Huey for troop transport, medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), search & rescue and all general utility roles. Depending on the mission, the Huey could fly with a crew of up to 4. The Huey is no doubt one of the world’s most recognized helicopters.
Huey #354 (N354AF) is one of 4 flyable UH-1’s owned by the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation. #354 flew over 1,500 combat hours in Viet Nam and has been faithfully restored, by members of the foundation, in the exact markings that were on the aircraft when it served in Viet Nam. The Huey was acquired from the Georgia National Guard in 2008.
“Folks love to fly with the veterans and aircraft that made history and that’s why we enjoy making #354 available for rides as often as possible” said Rick Welch, Director of the Foundation. The price per rider is $60.00 and the minimum age requirement is 5 years old. Reservations are not necessary during this rare 3 day opportunity, but all flights are flown on a first come, first serve basis.

Heli-Expo 2012 and Huey Follow up
PFLUGERVILLE, TX – MARCH 12, 2012 – LiveAirShowTV traveled up to the Dallas Convention Center for the Helicopter Association International’s Heli-Expo 
2012. Over a million square feet of exhibit space will filled with everything helicopters! Take a quick look at some of the latest rotary wing aircraft from the major manufacturers and suppliers. In addition to the latest models, HAI sets aside space for older aircraft in the Heritage of Helicopters display. “I almost felt more comfortable around the older choppers”, said Jeff Lee, LiveAirShowTV President. “The new models are very cool, and some of the technology is amazing, but I just love the look, feel and smell of aircraft that have done their time.” We also spoke with Sikorsky on their Legacy of Heroes Tour which celebrates and honors first responders all over the world.
Aside from getting to see beautiful helicopters in the middle of winter, the main reason for our trip was to catch up with the crew of the 25th Infantry Huey Helicopter that jumped into action last September at the Reno Air Races. They were awarded the EuroCopter “Golden Hour Award” for their actions. The 
biggest surprise was when they introduced us to the original Crew Chief that flew with pilot Ray Murphy in Vietnam. Our original story is posted on our website, and it was an honor to be with them for this event.
Air show season is cranking up and LiveAirShowTV is working on the schedule of shows that we will be attending. Keep watching for news on the schedule and for stories as we continue to bring you the “Inside Story” on performers and aircraft. In the coming weeks, you’ll meet Jason Newburg, and Rob Holland. We will also preview the IMAX feature Air Racers 3D which premieres in April.
To get the very latest, “Like” us on our Facebook Fan page, and follow us on Twitter. We have daily postings on both. This looks like a great 2012 air show season, and LiveAirShowTV will be there all along the way as we continue to be the “Eyes and Ears of Aviation, Today!”
