Charlie-model Huey with Tiger Shark nose art.
The UH-1C "Charlie-model" Huey, with it's "540"
rotor system, was well suited to the high performance maneuvering
needed by gunship helicopters to provide close fire support for
ground troops and slicks.
Most of the Tiger Shark aircraft had their distinctive
logo as nose art.
Although the Charlie-model was maneuverable, the crews
frequently wished they had more powerful engines.
