Fuel system checks on the AAHF Gateway Chapter OH-58A today

Winter maintenance continues as UH-1 104 undergoes a fuel cell replacement, and OH-58 541 closes in on its long awaited return to the skies after a meticulous restoration that is nearing completion.

Very active Maintenance day for the AAHF Gateway Chapter prepping for the upcoming 2020 Airshow Season. The Show Trailer, the OH-58 Kiowa and the UH-1 Huey all received much needed attention with great progress made. Photos by Scott Wiley.

What a truly amazing story! A huge shout out to our friends at the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation who scrambled a Huey that was giving rides close to the dow...ned Snowbird pilot, to aid in his recovery. Folks, THIS is history in action. THIS is why we fight to keep them flying. THIS is truly what the vintage aviation community is all about: preserving our heritage - educating the next generation - history in action - serving our community. By the way, this is Huey 624 Lucky Star. This particular helo was crashed and rebuilt 3 times in a time span of less than 40 days during the Vietnam War. She is a true survivor herself, a true piece of living history, still able to provide the same service she did so many years ago in Vietnam. Fantastic job to the AAHF! Photo courtesy AAHF. See more
