Originally designated as
UH-48 missile sites support helicopter, the Huey UH-1F was the Bell 204 Air Force
variant of the Army UH-1B/C but with a General Electric T58 engine rather
than the Lycoming used on other models at the time.
The resulting aircraft had the shorter cabin of the UH-1B,
but with the longer tail boom, rotor and transmission of the UH-1D.
The UH-1F was introduced into the USAF inventory in February 1964 with production ending in 1967.
Many of the aircraft served in Southeast Asia, and some were converted to the armed
UH-1P
for psychological warfare role . The last UH-1F was retired from the USAF in the early 1980s
and replaced by the 205 variant
HH-1H Huey
The basically similar
TH-1F was for instrument and hoist training .
