The Bell UH-1Y Venom (also called Super Huey) is a twin-engine medium size utility helicopter, part of the United States Marine Corps' H-1 upgrade program. The helicopter is also called Yankee for its variant letter, Y.
The UH-1Y is currently in full-rate production to replace the USMC's aging fleet of UH-1N Twin Huey light utility helicopters first introduced in the early 1970s. The UH-1Y was to have been remanufactured from UH-1Ns, but in 2005 it was approved for the aircraft to be built as new.

Famous quotes containing the words bell and/or venom:

The womb is not a clock
nor a bell tolling,

I feel the November
of the body as well as of the calendar.”

“The venom clamors of a jealous woman
Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.”
