THE FUERZA Aerea Colombiana (FAC, Colombian Air Force) has taken delivery of a recently converted UH-1H-II Huey II. The service's Comando Aereo de Mantenimiento (CAMAN, Air Maintenance Command), formally handed over serial FAC 4427 on April 21 at the CAMAN facility at Base Aerea 'MY Justino Marino Cuesto' in Madrid, Cundinamarca. The helicopter was the tenth and final UH-1H to be upgraded locally to Huey Ⅱ configuration, completing an eight-year project that began at CAMAN in 2012. The local upgrade was undertaken using manufacturer's kits. Previously, Bell supplied at least 20 Huey Ils that were converted in the US.
