The Eighth UH-1Y Venom utility helicopter,
No.0497,
of the Czech Air Force,
during test flights at the Bell Assembly Center in Amarillo, Texas.
This is not only the last UH-1Y Venom produced for the Czech Air Force,
but if Bell does not receive any more orders,
it will be the very last Venom ever produced.
In fact, the next AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom to be received by the CzAF
will be upgraded ex-USMC helicopters from the cancelled Hawaii squadron.
The seventh and eighth UH-1Y Venom (No.0496 & No.0497)
will be delivered to the Czech Republic in the next days or weeks.
