The UH-1 "Huey” helicopter 1s commonly referred to as the workhorse of the Vietnam War. It was responsible for life-saving medical evacuation, troop and cargo movement, and when equipped as a gunship, could offer very close and intense fire support. Tail number 587 served in Vietnam in 1966 and 1967 with the 173rd Assault Helicopter Company. Close examination of the aircraft reveals that major repairs have been made and several patched bullet holes have been found.

The helicopter currently carries the markings from the 176th Assault Helicopter Company, Chu Lai, South Vietnam.

Given in memory of the men of the 176th Assault Helicopter Company who gave their lives in Vietnam.
