This is the first of 24 TH-1H’s that will be modified to train Air Force helicopter student pilots. TH-1H Huey II is the newest aircraft to join the Air Force inventory. The chopper has an enlarged nose, wider main rotor blades and the tail rotor is now on the right side for better performance. Inside it has undergone an extensive refurbishment including upgraded components and a new avionics suite with a glass cockpit. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Lance Cheung)
