Inside the 1st HS hangar a dozen or so UH-1N Hueys were visible through the windows, but none were identified. Unfortunately unable to get close enough to the hangar without security forces kindly asking to remain in the designated public area. Others had a bit more luck, and some of the helicopters were confirmed.
