AH-1 Cobra
On 07 September 2001, the Army announced a significant acceleration of the Aviation Modernization Plan. This acceleration advances the retirement of aging aircraft and reduces the number of helicopters in the active and Reserve components by 1,000. By the end of 2004, there will no longer be AH-1 Cobra as or UH-1 Hueys in the Army; by that date, the Army's operational helicopter fleet will contain only AH-64 Apaches, UH-60 Black Hawks, CH-47 Chinooks and OH-58 Kiowas.
