Earlier this month, Bell delivered its first UH-1Y utility helicopter to the military. The first two copters are part of the H-1 upgrades program, which eventually will provide 280 upgraded attack and utility helicopters for the U.S. Marines Corps.

"Bell Helicopter is pleased to be able to provide these much-needed assets to our warfighters. The modernization of the Corps' aging fleet will provide enhanced capabilities while reducing operational costs in the field," new Bell President and CEO Dick Millman said Thursday.
