Name Trivia: The original designation was "Helicopter Utility 1 or HU-1," (eventually pronounced Huey). It was kind of like the term "Jeep," which was General Purpose vehicle, or GP, GeeP (pronounced Jeep). The term "Slick" means a helicopter without guns, but it also implies that the aircraft is without other big military hardware like "lights," "communications" (command and control console), or "rescue." |
