Update on helicopter info

[melody1181]

This is from a guy that is on the 129th web site.

The helicopter is most likely a UH-1B Huey 'gunship.' The reason I
think
that it's a 'B' model is because the rocket pod is one of the earlier
smaller ones, which only carried six or seven 2.75 inch rockets on each
side; the UH-1C was a later, much more powerful helicopter (though they
looked the same as the 'B'), and the rocket pods carried sixteen or
eighteen
rockets on each side, and usually had an automatic grenade launcher
mounted
on the nose (which this one doesn't have). From the picture, I can see
there are also two M-60 machine guns on each side, just above the
rocket
pods ? in the picture, you can just see the canvas that is temporarily
covering the ones on the starboard side, to protect them from dust and
such
while on the ground. The UH-1B was phased out fairly quickly, so the
picture was most likely taken sometime in mid-to-late 1965, 1966, or
early 1967.

Also said that it was prob from the 48th Assault Helicopter Company.
