Bell UH-1 Iroquois

The S.T.A.R.S. unit was provided with two Bell UH-1 transport helicopters, due to their standing as Raccoon City's primary armed response team, and the fact that the city itself is almost entirely surrounded by mountainous terrain. As the S.T.A.R.S. team photograph clearly depicts the Eurocopter AS350B in the Ibackground, rather than either of the dedicated S.T.A.R.S. UH-1 models. It is possible this helicopter was used by the team before the purchase of the second and third units.
