Mark,

On 11 Dec 04, the Indiana National Guard will retire it's two remaining UH-1's in a ceremony in Indianapolis at the airport.

One of these aircraft is (old T/N) 69-15345, a UH1 which I believe was assigned to the 119th in May of 1970. I tracked it through information in the VHPA records showing that you would have received it pretty much new, and put 517 hours on it between May and Oct of 70.

Just wanted to find out if my info is correct, and if it is, your guys might want to know. Email me back, and don't hesitate to pass this on to any of your folks who may be interested. I'll gladly hook you up with info as I get it.
