Painted to represent a locally-based UH-1N of the 46th Test Wing here at Eglin, this is in fact UH-1M 66-15186 (as marked in small characters on boom), which was repaired no less than six times after incidences of combat damage with the US Army in Vietnam between 1967 and 1970. Some sources state that around 1993 it was converted to a QUH-1M drone, but within a few years of that it was registered N703TF to Texas Firebirds. Moved into the Armament museum in December 1999 This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
