bell UH-1E Iroquois

in usa US Marine Corps


Del'd: 192 - 1964 to 1986


   
   




History of this Model in this Organisation:

In 1962, the marines choose the UH-1B Huey to replaced their Kaman OH-43D Huskies. Designated UH-1E, the main differences with the Army variant included the use of all-aluminum construction for corrosion resistance, the use of marines compatible avionics, a rotor brake to rapidly stop the rotor on shipboard use and a roof mounted rescue hoist.

The basically similar TH-1E was the trainer variant and 20 were delivered in 1965.

After the arrival of UH-1N during the 1970s, survivors were handled over to the Navy mainly to HT-8 and HT-18 training squadrons.

There is some confusion regarding UH-1E numbers. 151299 c/n 6034 is not a UH-1E according to Bell, so the following numbers would be shifted by one

BuNos 151266 / 151298 : UH-1E c/n 6001 / 6033 - UH-1B engine Lycoming T53-L-11 1100 shp
      151299 reported also as UH-1E c/n 6034 as well
BuNos 151840 / 151887 : UH-1E c/n 6035 / 6082 - UH-1C engine Lycoming T53-L-13 1400 shp
BuNos 152416 / 152439 : UH-1E c/n 6083 / 6106
BuNos 153740 / 153767 : UH-1E c/n 6107 / 6134
BuNos 154730 / 154749 : TH-1E - 20 trainers
BuNos 154750 / 154780 : UH-1E c/n 6135 / 6165
BuNos 154943 / 154969 : UH-1E c/n 6166 / 6192
BuNos 155337 / 155354 : UH-1E c/n 6193 / 6203
BuNos 155355 / 155367 : cancelled UH-1E
