KIT HeliOps added the UH-1H to our fleet in 2021. This iconic helicopter is the work horse of our fleet, capable of precision external load operations in excess of 3,000 lbs.

  • Easily one of the most recognizable helicopters in the world, the UH-1H is in a class of its own. KIT’s Huey works primarily in support of fire and utility operations.

  • The Honeywell T53-L-701 turboshaft engine installed in our UH-1H+ is the powerhouse that improves the durability and stability of the already legendary Huey. With 1400 shaft horsepower output to the rotor system, this engine can have the main rotor system spinning at 100% with very little effort – and keep that iconic Huey rotor sound alive for years to come.
