The Chile Air Force (FACH) has accepted delivery of the first of several refurbished UH-1H Helicopters from Northwest Helicopters. Under a contract signed in August 2006, Northwest has extensively inspected, overhauled, and modified these helicopters for the needs of the Chile Air Force. These surplus U.S. Army helicopters were brought back from military storage to “like New” condition with the first ship delivered in only 90 days from start to finish. Shown here accepting the first UH-1H are Group Commander Juan Carlos Hernandez Avalos (right) and Squadron Commander Jaime Reyes Lillo (left) from the Chile Air Force.
