Bell UH-1 Huey

This helicopter is widely regarded as one of the most frequently used military helicopters in the world, and for good reason. It is currently in use in more than 40 countries around the world. You may not like it, but we think that it only heightens the suspense! To begin with, it served as a weapon of mass destruction in Vietnam. As of today, it is still in use. During that time period, it was employed in a wide range of different operations. Students and staff could be transported in a MedEvac van at the same time, thanks to unique modifications. With one to four people in the vehicle, the vehicle can reach a top speed of 125 mph. Between $500,000 and $600,000 is the asking price for this Vietnam War-era aircraft. Purchases of new aircraft, which currently run $25,000 per plane, are prohibitively expensive. We don’t know how you feel about this, but we think it’s a great chance.

Lockheed T-33 T-Bird

When the US Air Forces received the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, it signaled the beginning of a period of significant change. Using propellers for the first time, they took a different approach than their forebears. The propeller-driven trainers were found to be ineffective in preparing personnel for the P-8-s after further investigation. When it came time to upgrade the P-80’s design, the military decided to increase its fuselage size and add a second tandem seat. We were able to purchase the Allison J33-A-35 turbojet for the T-33 Shooting Star thanks to this agreement. In its time with the United States Air Force, it was the world’s first jet fighter training aircraft! However, 7,000 T-Birds, which were better suited to the military market, were built in the years following World War II in large numbers, with 1,700 P-80s produced. In spite of the fact that about fifty of them have been handed over to non-military personnel, it is still in widespread use around the world.
