Does any of that apply to the Hueys being sold by these guys (4th ad down):

Nope, none of those were donation birds. Those were likely bought from the GSA, like a couple of thousand other surplus Huey's. They are, most likely, good to go.

This is the U.S. State Dept storage area and all their UH-1's. they are stock piling them for later use around the world. they get first grab for surplus aircraft and they are taking all the UH-1's they can get.
