Artist Steve Maloney created the concept and artwork using the restored helicopter's 47-foot long fuselage as a canvas.
[1] The organization's co-founder, Dave Barron, discovered Huey #174 in an Arizona boneyard and restored the fuselage with the help of volunteers and veterans.
The film documents Maloney's transformation of a Vietnam-era medevac helicopter into a colorful sculpture with a mission to help veterans recover from Post-Traumatic Stress.
As Huey #174 morphs from wounded war bird into a vivid sculpture, viewers witness the power of art to heal surviving soldiers[6] and families of the fallen.
Together artist Steve Maloney and Light Horse Legacy tour the sculptural installation across the United States to honor veterans of all conflicts and raise awareness of the challenges of Post-Traumatic-Stress.
