Huey, Cobra, Viper & Venom - The UH-1 Evolution

Support me (a human!) on Patreon:   / redwrenchfilms   The UH-1 Huey first flew in 1956. Almost 70 years later, new variants of this helicopter are still being built for the Marines... but these go by different names - UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper. Join me as we explore the development of the Huey, it's use in Vietnam, the emergence of the AH-1 Cobra, and how both these designs have stayed relevant over the course of 7 decades, with dozens of variants and upgrades on the way. This video is an amalgamation of 3 of my previous videos, so don't be confused if you think you're having Deja Vu.
