The story
The Bell 412 evolved from the legendary UH-1 Huey. It's bigger, more powerful, and has a four-blade rotor instead of two. Canada flies it as the CH-146 Griffon; police forces, coast guards, and militaries worldwide use it for everything from rescue hoists to troop transport.
The Bell 412's DNA traces back to the UH-1 Huey, the most iconic helicopter of the Vietnam War era.
