UH-1 Iroquois

The Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" is a helicopter that was used primarily by the United States Military during the Vietnam War. It is featured in the game, Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The Helicopter is the main American helicopter in Black Ops, featuring in almost every other mission. The Huey first appears in the mission "SOG" as US troops attempt to defend themselves from the overwhelming numbers of the NVA. In "The Defector," Texas provides fire support for SOG operatives, followed "Victor Charlie" where one operated by the 1st Cavalry Division is shot down and attacked by Viet Cong or North Vietnamese Forces, while another saves Mason and Reznov from being killed on a cliffside. In Crash Site, it aids SOG in finding the shot down Russian cargo plane containing Nova 6. Finally, Mason and other SOG operatives fly several helicopters against Russian defenses on board the Rusalka before Mason's is shot down.

In multiplayer, it is used as the Chopper Gunner killstreak for all sides. Unlike previously, the player uses a minigun from the door of the helicopter with non-explosive rounds. It can be shot down with 1 missile. To achieve this, shoot it when its heading straight at you.

Trivia

 * In multiple screenshots of the UH-1 in Black Ops, an M60 machine gun can be seen mounted in the main cabin.
 * Outside of Firing Range there is a Huey with no pilot, but spun up and with dual M60s on each side.
 * Another parked Huey can be seen outside of Jungle, near the SOG spawn.
 * In "Revelations", and most other missions, there are pilots controlling the Huey, but they use Pvt. Davis's model.
 * In the killstreak picture the Huey sports a nose mounted grenade launcher, which is absent from the in-game model.
 * The Huey has "Get Some" written on the left side of the nose.
 * In Black Ops patch 1.9, the announcer sometimes incorrectly refers to chopper gunners as "Hinds". This is scheduled to be fixed in patch 1.10.
 * Dave sucks
