A LEGENDARY EXPERIENCE!

We operate an authentic Vietnam-era Huey that has flown three tours in Vietnam and has been restored to its original condition.
Our Huey is licensed by the South African Civil aviation Authority to carry 9passengers at a time, and is the only Huey in the World licensed to carry passengers.
The Bell UH-! (nicknamed “Huey) is a utility military helicopter powered by a single turboshaft engine, with two-bladed main and trial rotors.
The Huey was the workhorse of the Vietnam War. When you see helicopters in a Vietnam War Movie, you’re looking at a Huey.

Cape Town Huey Helicopter Combat Mission
I thought I came to South Africa for the big five & shark cage diving, but the UH-1 flight was by far the best experience. For the impatient skip to 4 minutes in, that's where the combat flying starts and is unedited until around the 18 minute mark. External view of shutdown right at the end.

This helicopter experience will take you to the tip of the Cape Peninsula – Cape Point, a nature reserve within the Table Mountain National Park and a declared Natural World Heritage Site. It is an absolute treat to be experienced from the air.
Our Huey was manufactured in 1966 and assigned tail number 66-01009.
It served in Vietnam with the US Army when assigned to the 129 Helicopter Assault Brigade from 1966 to 1968, whereafter it did several tours in Germany and Alaska.
In 1970 it was sent to the US Army Helicopter Training School at Fort Rucker Alabama where it was used for pilot training until it was surplused by the US Army in 1996.
It was then flown to the Davis-Montham Air Force Base in Tucson Arizona where it was mothballed until it was auctioned in 2001.
An aviation enthusiast purchased it on the auction and prepared it for civilian use.
We acquired the Huey in 2003 and finally took delivery of it here in SA in November 2006 after a lengthy export approval application from the US Dept of State.
Upon receipt, we employed a veteran former US Army Huey Crew Chief with 47 years hands on experience on Hueys to assist our engineers in the total refurbishment of our Huey.
The South African Civil Aviation Authority certified it for commercial use in April 2007, and we have operated it in various roles since then.
It is used for tourist flying mostly, and has been flown in approximately 15 feature movies and various television series since then.
We pride ourselves in our Huey and take extremely good care of it.
The US Crew Chief still visits with us twice a year to ensure the ongoing airworthiness of our Huey. Our Huey is kept in pristine operational condition and we invite you to come and experience the thrill of flying in a true iconic ex Vietnam veteran.
The helicopter was stripped down to the bare skin, completely repainted in its former military colors, and fitted out with all new components which included the engine, gearboxes and blades.

The Huey Helicopter saw combat in Vietnam in 1963, first as troop transport, but before the end of the conflict 7000 of these versatile helicopters were flying for Medevac, air assault, gun ships, utility, evacuation and troop supply transport. Not only did it earn its fame during the Vietnam War, it has also been featured in many war movies, including Apocalypse Now, Platoon and We Were Soldiers, making it not only the most recognisable helicopter but also the famous helicopter of the 20th Century.
