List of preserved Bell UH-1 Iroquois explained
This is an incomplete list of displayed Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopters. The Bell UH-1 Iroquois experienced a production number in the thousands (both short and long-frame types), and many are in service in nations around the world. A large number of decommissioned and retired aircraft exist as gate guardians at various military bases, in aviation museums, and other static-display sites.
A large portion of the UH-1s on display in the United States went to individual chapters of three veterans organizations: the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and Vietnam Veterans of America.

Afterwards, the helicopter was given to the People's Liberation Army for test and evaluation. Later it was transferred to the museum of Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics.[18]
