The UH-1 Iroquois, or as it is more commonly known, The Huey, is one of, if not the most iconic helicopter of all time. Developed by the Bell company, the Huey served as the US military's principle rotary winged airframe for close to thirty years. This remarkable aircraft has been modified for almost any role you can think of, from assault transport, to flying ambulance, to gunship.

The Army Stats

The Marine Stats

In Team Yankee, the Huey comes in two flavors, one for the US Army and one for the US Marines. The Army Version has a slightly higher morale (at 3+) while the Marine version can carry an extra team.

The Army version is used in the UH-1 HUEY INFANTRY COMBAT TEAM list, which is meant to represent units of the 82nd Airborne Division, All Americans. The iconic whirlybirds are taken as part of a Huey Rifle Platoon, which starts off with 2 Hueys, 1 M47 Dragon Team, and 5 M249 SAW/M72 Law teams for 6 points. For an additional 2 points (For a total of 8) you get an extra Huey and a pair of SAW/LAW teams. In addition to the standard unit increases, you can also add an additional M47 Dragon team for a point, and up to 2 M60 GPMG teams for a point each, and finally you can add an extra Huey (for a total of 4) absolutely free!

Both Versions of the Huey carry a pair of door M60s, which have the special rule Door Guns. This means that they can only fire the turn the Huey has landed. This is meant to represent the door gunners providing suppressing fire as the troopers jump out. This reinforces the roll of the Huey as a transport, not a gunship, don't go hunting with these things.
