What state was that? Huey's aren't much used for civilian purposes so you date yourself there. Although would guess still some rescue/emergency and national guard activity that hasn't been 100% phased out whereas the Cayuse platform is active pretty much everywhere and know this personally.

Hughes 500D and onward is where it gets interesting, imo. The increased number of rotor blades, and as the turbine engine was upgraded over the decades. It speaks volumes that the aircraft was designed in the early 1960s if not earlier and even with several changes in ownership the same platform exists to this day.
