the aircrews who flew them to the boneyard would fly home on UH-1 Hueys.

Except that they won't. These are the last of the Hueys, and the Blackhawks are going strong.

Marine Corps has the UH-1V still going strong. It looks very different, especially up top.

UH-1Y’s are flown by the Marine Corps today. As a “Marine Skid Kid” in a previous life, I have many hours in the UH-1N. The UH-1N the Air Forces has is not the same as the Marines had. Worked on the AW/EH/US-101 Merlin from AugstaWestland for the president replacement program prior to its cancellation by Zero, it was an outstanding aircraft. The MH-139, a military derivative of the AgustaWestland AW139. Surprised they went foreign.
