Super Huey

Bell UH-1Y Venom aboard the USS Iwo Jima somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.

I looked at this picture and I said 'wait a minute, what kind of chopper is that?' It kind of looks like a Huey, but Huey's only have two blades, don't they? And this one has four. Seems the Marines have grown so attached to the Huey that it has been reincarnated with a bunch of new stuff including bigger engines and a four bladed rotor.
