    Aren't they all old?

    All Huey's have twin blades, that's where it gets its characteristic wop-wop sound. This could also be a former H/V model.

    My guess is that this is a civilian version, there's no military markings on it and just a standard tail designator. Also, note the trailer it's being towed on has a CA commercial plate (and 2 Support the Troops stickers!), even though the trailer looks to be specifically built for transporting helicopters and is painted in matching green.

    Hard to tell from that photo, but it looks like the tail-rotor may be damaged. The black spot near the end of the rotor looks suspiciously similar to one I've seen before, after a Zeus faster came loose and decided to find a new home in the rotor blade.

                Yeah or maybe a D. It looks like the gap between the cockpit and the cabin door is too short for the small forward cabin door. Maybe it's just the angle of the picture.

                At first I thought a B or C model because of that but obviously it's not.
                "Did I say "republic?" By God, yes, I said "republic!" Long live the glorious republic of the United States of America. Damn democracy. It is a fraudulent term used, often by ignorant persons but no less often by intellectual fakers, to describe an infamous mixture of socialism, miscegenation, graft, confiscation of property and denial of personal rights to individuals whose virtuous principles make them offensive." - Westbrook Pegler

                    Fools! Obviously the black helicopter cover has been blown, so they have resorted to using green helicopters on the back of semi trucks to monitor you. If I were battleship I would go dark immediately. They are on to you and the fact that that helicopter just "happened" to be next you is no coincidence. In fact, I am going to delete my post to this now and go dark myself.

                        BTW, commercial transports a LOT of our vehicles nowadays.

                        No markings, not even NG unit. I'm guessing she's to be a display.
                        "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero
