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.
Designed to meet a US Army requirement for a light observation helicopter, the protoype YOH-4A was first flown on December 8th 1962© Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
