The UH-1N entered the Air Force inventory in 1970. It is a twin-engine light-lift utility helicopter used to support Air Force Space Command missile wings and groups. The helicopter has a number of uses:
1) Airlift of emergency and disaster response forces;
2) Search and rescue operations;
3) Security surveillance for nuclear weapons convoys;
4) Security of  test range areas during launch conditions;
5) Transport of missile support personnel;
6) Space shuttle landing support;
7) Airborne cable inspections; and
8) Distinguished visitor transport.

The UH-1N is capable of flight in instrument and nighttime conditions. The crew complement is normally two (pilot and co-pilot), but it may be flown single-pilot depending on weather and mission requirements. The crew complement for hoist, water and navigational operations is three, adding a flight engineer.

When configured for passengers, the UH-1N can seat up to 13 people, but actual passenger loads are dependent on fuel loads and atmospheric conditions (may be less). The medical evacuation configuration can accommodate up to six litters. Without seats or litters, the cabin - which is accessed through two full-sized sliding doors - can carry bulky and oversized cargo.

The UN-1N derived from the Bell 212 helicopter - one of the more than 15 variants of the original "Huey" first designed and flown in 1956.
