Commercial Jet, August 29, 2016 - DOTHAN, AL - Commercial Jet is especially proud to announce the return of the Bell UH-1H Iroquois "Huey" helicopter with Army serial number 65-9643 to its home on the static display at Veterans Park, Dothan, Alabama.

The paint restoration was performed in Commercial Jet's state-of-the-art aircraft paint hangar at its facility at the Dothan Regional Airport. "It's been particularly gratifying to be able to give back to the community through this restoration," states David Sandri, President of Commercial Jet.
