Here's one I got a few pics of at the Val-P airport in Florida. Feel free to use the picture if you like, it is UH-1V 69-15171

There is also one on a pole at the Dothan Alabama rest stop on Hwy 231. There is another one or two in the Dothan area but I can't recall where off the top of my head.

Thanks for the kind words about our Huey! Let me know the next time you're going to be up this way and I'll open her up for ya! We also have a Facebook page for all the latest news about our Huey if you're interested: http://www.facebook.com/huey446

Our Huey last flew in 2005 and was trucked in from Florida last November. Here's some pictures showing how far '446 has come. She was missing a ton of parts when we got her, including everything for the main rotor system except the mast and stabilizer bar. We still have a lot of little detail work left to do, but she sure has come a long way!

'446 arrives at the Fannin County Veterans Memorial Park, and the restro begins!

If anyone would like to get inside our Huey, just drop me a PM! We love to show her off and there's always a crowd when the doors are open.

And all visitors are welcome--even the four-legged kind :wink:

Trevor--
Thanks! A buddy of mine was a pilot in HQ 3/17th. I will very likely take you up on your offer.
