Um... no, this is a Kiowopter, as are the shots in 5098 and 5099.

I strongly suspect that you have captured something other than a UH-1
in the three images captured. That is certainly no Huey. It definitely
lacks the Huey "pocket" for crew chief and gunner.
....and no Huey I know had chin bubbles like that.
I believe what you have there might be a close cousin, the Bell
YOH-4A/206, which ended up as the Bell OH58 kiowa.

Yes, you are correct. I'm afraid my helo recognition skill are somewhat
lacking, so thanks for the info.

You're welcome. I know the CH-136 Kiowa well as I was an occasional pax in
them and they were on the spotters' list all AD gunners had to learn.
