If it's an attack helicopter, it ceases to be a UH-1 and becomes an AH-XXX
UH = Utility Helicopter , AH = Attack Helicopter Also, cannot be named 'venom', US Army choppers are named from indian tribes.. Chinook, Apache, Iroquois, Kiowa Warrior, etc... _________________ NO DISASSEMBLE!

They have the Cobra, which is not a tribe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UH-1Y_Venom _________________ Massivedesign wrote: I am thinking of a number somewhere between none of and your business. |

Most are merely rehabilitated at Anniston Depot when they get a little tired. Everyone wants an M-2 or one of it's variants when the SHTF. _________________ "I've learned from the Dog that an afternoon nap is a good thing" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother" - William Shakespeare |

Although, Blackhawk pilots will accept crashhawk. Nothing like a hot drop, and seeing grass just a few inches higher than your head getting milled off in front of you. |

The set up brings to mind the HH53 rescue helo used in Vietnam. Gatling guns, 2.75" launchers. That bird also had air to air refuel capability, and a 40mm grenade chin turret, and pintle mounts for M60's.

There were a couple in the Army that didn't get Indian names. The AH1 Cobra, the Littlebird, and a couple others. The Indian names didn't start until the late 50s.
