Coming August 24th, 9am-4pm, the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation, Creve Couer, Mo. will bring their Bell UH-1 “Huey” and AH-1 “Cobra” helicopters to the Greenville, Illinois Airport Airstravaganza. The public will be able to purchase rides on each of these historic warbirds. This will be a unique opportunity for people to get a close look at two of the most important aircraft utilized by the US Army during the Vietnam War and in the years following. Vietnam veterans will be able to recall their experiences when they flew, rode in, worked on, or were supported in combat by these warbirds.
