[edit] Venom?

Bill, I haven't even looked yet. Is it going to be called "Venom"? --Born2flie 15:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Was news to me to when I found this page last night. My first thought was to move it to "Bell UH-1Y". However, I Googled "UH-1Y Venom, and cam up with lots of hits. (Alot more than a similar search for "ARH-70 Araphaho" (sp) will bring up.) This site (Department of the Navy RDA) seems fairly official, being on a Dept. of Navy domain name. Check it out and see what you think.

I was suprised at how good this page actually is. It solves a problem I've been noticing, in that info on the UH-1Y is spread out among the Bell Huey articles (UH-1, 212, and 412). The only problem is, there are NO links to this page in those articles. I had planned to take care of that today, and still will if you see no problems keeping this page. - BillCJ 16:05, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't if you don't. This is right up that alley we were talking about with the AH-1, also. --Born2flie 16:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, it's done. - BillCJ 17:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger with UH-1N Twin Huey?

I've posted a UH-1N Twin Huey page to see what we could come up with, using content from the Bell 212 page. On further consideration, I think it would be better to have both the UH-1N and UH-1Y on the same page, as the program is basically an upgrade (the first 10 Ys will be re-built Ns). I'd prefer UH-1N/Y Twin Huey. Any thoughts? - BillCJ 16:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Aren't all the rest of the Venoms going to be new manufactures? It's not like the OH-58D where every aircraft is a remanufactured airframe of a previous OH-58A/C. Are there going to be significant airframe differences between the 10 remanufactured "prototypes" and the produced airframes? Just some questions and a thought. --Born2flie 08:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I already decided not to do it after talking with Alan. It's psted elsewhere, but I didn't update here. I also think will be able to find plenty of content for the UH-1N, as they've served in alot on militaries. With the UH-1Y nearing service entry, content there shouldn't be a problem either. THanks again. - BillCJ 15:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

• That seemed like that'd be a good move. Either way is fine though. -Fnlayson 18:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that would be helpful. - BillCJ 05:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
