Default Any UH-1 owners in here?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone that knows about owning a UH-1 would be
willing to talk to me about it (off list if you want, or on
list..maybe others would be interested).
I have a bunch of questions regarding a future purchase. Things like
where the type certificate comes from, and are there a limited number
of them, etc. Can a Huey be registered as an experimental, and would
that give you more flying leeway (maintaining skills clause)? Can you
bid directly to the military, or do you have to buy from a reseller?
Any experiences, good and bad, suggestions, etc, etc, etc.
I have everything to learn about getting one without getting
screwed. I appreciate any responses.

Thanks,
Jim

Basically it will cost quite a bit to get an airworthiness cert on a surplus
aircraft. Garlick Helicopters is one organization that does this. You will
still have to fly the aircraft in a restricted category or for exhibition
only. There will be a lot of limitations to owning a surplus aircraft.

Check the above link regarding surplus military aircraft. The AC title is:
"Surplus Military Aircraft a briefing for prospective buyers." AC20-96.
Also check out AC 21-3 "Standard Airworthiness Certification of Surplus
Military Aircraft.

I know the Corpus Christi Depot has a DRMO sale of its equipment. I know
personally of a person that bought a perfectly flyable OH-58A+ for $500 from
one of these sales.

I flew it out of there for him to his location in New Mexico. All it had in
there was an old VHF for comes and nave. Of course the RMI worked.

I would guess that is where you could get one. But you can not get the ones
I am flying right now. I don't think the Guard should ever get ride of them.

While in LA I saw a private UH-1B at Van Nuys airport. N46928 is listed as
being owned by San Joaquin Helicopters in Delano, Cal.
Maybe you can look them up and give them a buzz.

Excellent links Chuck. Thanks.
For anyone looking for AC 21-3, it's actually AC 21-13.
Real good info.

I hope so Sean. I am qualified on the Hawks too and can not stand them. I
hope I never have to fly them again.

Not a UH-1 but the November issue of Private Pilot has an article
about a guy that rebuilt his own Cobra. The whole issue is helicopter
related.
