Sometimes, on my way home from PDX after doing some plane-spotting, I take a detour through Canby and Aurora before hopping back on the interstate to avoid traffic in and around the Wilsonville area if it's bad. On numerous occasions, I've passed by the Vietnam Era Veterans Memorial in Canby, which includes a Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" helicopter mounted on a stand in full display but never took the opportunity to stop and take a look. I figured I might as well make a quick stop to get a few pictures on the way home. I always appreciate seeing aircraft serving as airport "gate guards" or as memorial displays.

| United States Army Bell UH-1H Iroquois "Little Orphan Annie" (70-16351) on display at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Formerly with the Ohio Army National Guard before being put up for display. In spite of being exposed to the elements, this old Huey appears to be great shape. |
