On display at Yanks Air Museum. This helicopter was constructed in 1963 at Fort Worth as an UH-1D-BF for the U.S. Army. In 1972 it was converted to a UH-1H and joined the U.S. Forest Service in 1989. The Huey is painted as 67-17426 with the Ramrod platoon emblem on the nose and markings of the 335th Assault Helicopter Company, "The Cowboys", who were formed in 1966 at Bien Hoa. The unit was involved in the heavy fighting for Hill 875 in Nov. 1967, for which the 173rd Abn Bde was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. The 335th AHC stayed in Vietnam till Nov. 1971.
