The Bell UH-1Y Venom is a twin-engine, 4-blade, medium-sized utility helicopter built by Bell Textron under the H-1 upgrade program of the United States Marine Corps. One of the latest members of the numerous Huey family, the UH-1Y is also called "Yankee" for the NATO phonetic alphabet pronunciation of its variant letter.
Bell was originally to produce UH-1Ys by rebuilding UH-1Ns, but ultimately used new built airframes.
