Take Me Home Huey :: Celebrating the Huey Helicopter

Thanks for sharing, my friend SFC William Farrell the background on Steve Maloney’s mixed-media sculpture Take Me Home Huey is composed of a transformed boneyard U.S. Army Huey helicopter that served as an air ambulance during the Vietnam War. The historic helicopter was shot down in 1969 during a medical rescue in Vietnam. The serial number of the Huey is 67-17174; the aircraft is commonly known as #174. The crew chief Gary Dubach and the medic Stephen Schumacher died bravely during the medical rescue attempt.

In the mid-1970's I flew in many UH-1 Huey helicopters while clinging to my personal weapon :-)
