Huey 2

Does anyone know what a Huey 2 is?

It is actually a Huey II and is the latest single-engined version being built by Bell. It is basically a modernized UH-1H. It has the fuselage of an H w/the nose and rotor system of a UH-1N.

They are being sold to many foreign countries.

The USAF is also using them as trainers.

As usual you are right on target. The main fuselage is a UH-1H, which by the way keeps it’s identity of flight hours and serial number. A Huey II kit is used consisting of new Bell 212 dynamic components and tailboom. The engine is upgraded from a T53-L13 to a Honeywell T53-L-703 for additional horsepower. Because the tail rotor is a Bell 212 it is on the right side. Bell also adds a new liftbeam. The fuselage is completely striped and inspected, new fuel cells and glass are added. There is also a dauphin nose option, so you could see a Huey II with the original round nose or dauphin like the UH-1N. The actual identification is a UH-1H-II, nicknamed Huey II.

Thank you very much gentlemen, I crewed a UH-1D in Nam and was not sure what the Huey II was.

Here is another variation of the nose next to the UH-1H OEM nose. This is a Huey II with the dauphin nose extended for the weather radar. The identification markings were blocked out. Note also the high skid, a common option when ordering a spotlight or FLIR.

Take out the space in your image code.

Maybe not. I don’t get this system. It just recently changed. Now all image codes in an initial reply load as a link. But, if you add them in an edit, they load as pics, as such…

Thanks for the assist!!
