The Army's TH-67 New Training Helicopter (NTH) is a Bell Model 206B JetRanger III built by Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. Its function is to replace existing Hueys being used for training Initial Entry Rotary Wing students. The TH-67 Creek is a state-of-the-art helicopter used for initial entry rotary wing training. It replaced the aging UH-1H, which had been the Army's interim trainer since the 1988 retirement of the TH-55 Osage. In the tactical portion of pilot training, the OH-58 Kiowa is still the helicopter used. But for initial entry rotary wing flight instruction, the TH-67 is the aircraft of choice for a new generation of Army aviators.
Originally developed for the US Army’s Light Observation Helicopter program, the Bell D-250 first flew on December 8, 1962. When the D-250 failed to make the final cut for the Army’s program, Bell redesigned the airframe, added 16 cubic feet of cargo space and marketed the upgraded version commercially as the Bell 206A JetRanger. The new design was reconsidered by the Army in 1968, which commissioned it as the OH-58 Kiowa. Today it is used by both the Army and the Navy as a primary trainer, and it remains popular with the news media as a traffic and reporting aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
