Robert,
The section on the 20th Special Ops Sqdn, USAF, says that they, the Green Hornets, flew the Bell Huey UH-1F. That is incorrect. The 1F is a rare version that was single engined and probably never saw military service.
The 20th SOS flew UH-1Ns that had twin Bell engines (Twin Huey). I remember these very well.
I was the Logistics Officer with First Flight. Our C-123Ks flew up north to drop runners and other stuff. The 20th went in later to pick the runners back up.
Thanks,
