The Bell UH-1Y Venom (also called Super Huey) is a twin-engine, medium-sized utility helicopter, built by Bell Helicopter as part of the United States Marine Corps’ H-1 upgrade program. The Y-model upgrades pilot avionics to a glass cockpit, adds further safety modifications and provides the UH-1 with a modern FLIR system.
Here, Marines with Marine Light Attack Training Squadron 303 provide close air support from a UH-1Y Huey helicopter during a training exercise northeast of Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. The video also include footage of CH-53 lifting a 8,500 pound weight for an external lift exercise during a squadron Detachment For Training (DFT) on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson Arizona.
