Well, he doesn't know the proper name of the helicopter: It's "UH-1"
not "HU1"
Prior to 1961 it was HU (Helicopter, Utility) before the category was
re-designated UH (Utility Helicopter).
I think the Brits and some other NATO allies still use HU as the class
designator. ANZAC military might still use HU as well.
