Dear All,
Thank you for your many enquiries. Please note that during 2011, Huey 509 may not be out and about as much as usual although we will attend a couple of events as and when possible and these will be posted on this Events Page. All is well at Huey HQ and in fact very well as we are celebrating having another aircraft on board now and ready to fly which is the OH-6 aka ‘Loach’ or ‘Little Bird’. This is another Vietnam Veteran and to read more about her, please go to the ‘Loach 011’ link on this website.
With this new aircraft on board, Phil and the Team will be spending most of this year training on the OH-6 and bringing the Team together for flying both aircraft to displays and events from 2012 onwards. This year also gives us an opportunity to bring the company, the website and the hangar facility together for both aircraft and we hope to be able to have a couple of Open Days this year (and for years to come) for people to visit the aircraft in situ.
Exciting times ahead from next year onwards so watch this space!!
The Huey will be available as a static display and flying display, subject to CAA approval as and when requested at the following events and shows around the country. Why not keep up to date with the progress of our Huey UH-IH by visiting our latest news page.
2011 Events
North West Air Ambulance Awareness & Fund Raising Event

Firstly on Saturday 22nd October both the helicopters will be on static display on the Waterloo Road Headland on Blackpool Promenade between 10:00am and 3:30pm. The the following day, Sunday 23rd October, both of the helicopters will be out again on the Green at Lytham.
We hope you can all make it to show your support for a truly deserving cause. Without public donations the North West Air Ambulance Service would not continue to fly. Yet each year they fly hundreds of missions responding to emergencies all over the North West.
