Coming from the first or second batch, this UH-1M served in the Salvadoran Air Force, being used for attack missions against FMLN guerrillas. Its rockets and miniguns destroyed houses and trenches where they were located.

Its service ended in the late 1990s or mid-1990s, after which it was repainted and put on display.

This Cazador (Hunter) uses a paint scheme that was used in the civil war, and its conventional armament was the most common type used at the time.
