TO further bolster case for black cockpit panels and wire strike protection system, this is a footage from 1984 training sqaudron with student pilots. If Uh1H trainer had NVG compatible cockpits then this certainly would of the been standard by 1989, in active duty units that still was operating UH1H's.

IT should also be noted that the rotors since 1980 standard are supposed to be entirely black. The reforger main rotors and anti torque rotors are black but have tips painted yellow. IT should be entirely black in this timeframe
