    According to the staff at the MNANG Museum, this Huey is haunted. During the Vietnam War it flew on multiple combat missions that resulted in the deaths of American Infantrymen and flight crew while the Helicopter was airborne, including one mission where apparently the entire crew was killed but the helicopter was still serviceable. The staff have reportedly seen shadows, heard voices and caught figures moving on security cameras inside the hanger where this helo is now displayed. How much of it is true, I am not sure...
