I have seen several threads on hueys being retired recently. What will happen to them?

Some will go to musuems and some may go to the boneyards, most will go back to Bell and become Huey II's

Yup, there are a lot of countries still flying Hueys.  They have many years still left in them.  Iraq just put in a pretty large order for them. 

As the saying goes, "When the last Blackhawk is flown to the boneyard, a Huey will fly the crew back."
