– Senator Bob Robbins (R-50), a decorated Vietnam War veteran,
attended a ceremony in Harrisburg honoring "America's Huey" 091 as
it made its way to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
Huey 091 was built in 1965 and was damaged in battle three times during the Vietnam War. She is being flown to Washington, D.C., where on Veteran's Day, November 11, 2004, she will become the largest piece in a new permanent exhibition of all US wars at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History titled "The Price of Freedom." As the Huey entered the City of Harrisburg the pilot did a flyover of the Capitol building before landing the aircraft on Commonwealth Avenue behind the Capitol. Those participating in the ceremony were Governor Rendell, members of Pennsylvania's Congressional delegation, members of the General Assembly, the Armed Services and Vietnam War veterans. The Huey helicopter, also know as a "Slick," changed the method of warfare. It became an invaluable piece of military equipment during the Vietnam War as it was used as a gun ship, transported troops and supplies into battle and assisted in the recovery of the wounded. |
