NATA, the North American Trainer Association Hiller UH-12B and Sikorsky UH-34D Friday, July 24, 2026, 10 am The Vietnam War became known as the world's first true "Helicopter War," forever changing modern combat. Three helicopters tell that story: the Hiller OH-23 Raven, Sikorsky UH-34D Seahorse, and the legendary Bell UH-1 Huey. Each marked a major step in the evolution of battlefield aviation. The OH-23 pioneered reconnaissance and artillery spotting, proving helicopters could transform ground warfare. The rugged UH-34D became the U.S. Marine Corps' workhorse, carrying troops, evacuating casualties, and supplying front-line forces. Their success paved the way for the iconic Huey, which came to symbolize the Vietnam War itself. Together, these helicopters didn't just support the fight—they revolutionized how wars would be fought for generations to come.
