Are fixable choppers back in? Or did I just jack some hackers on US 260?

[Nekosan 20]

So i'm freshly spawned in Cherno after losing my gear to some asshole turning me into a rabbit (dif server) and i'm running down the docks when I hear a huey, said huey does a flyby and they attempt to kill me with the pintle mount but the pilot is terrible and they miss by a long shot...

I leg it into a coffee shop and luck into a dead guy with a SMLE and a single clip which I decide to dedicate to killing this helicopter, nothing to lose right?

Idiots have auto-hover on and the pilot is rotating the bird, my first shot goes in the cargo door and hits the pilot in the throat and all hell breaks lose... somehow he manages to land and i drill the gunner in the throat too (i'm shaking from a Z attack by this point), the co-pilot takes a round to the spine as he attempts to drag the pilot out of the huey and the last guy panics because of the zombies and runs.

I put the gunner and co-pilot down with the pilots 1911.

At this point I'm thinking "wait a second, i havent played for 3 patches but i don't remember patch notes concerning choppers being reintroduced..." so i decide to take her up into the forest in the middle of the map and roll her over so she's:

a ) on the ground

b ) stuck in a non-removeable spot

I figure that if I burn the bird then it might trigger the respawn on restart feature somehow and there'll still be an illegal chopper getting about, at least where i'm going to leave it it will be stuck for a week.

Did I mention that I found 4 crashed hueys on the way and managed to re-gear myself with almost everything I had stolen by dodgyness earlier in the night?

The UH-1H shows on DayZ wiki so I'd say it's in game.

Helicopters are NOT in the game as of right now. If you found one, it was injected in.

Very few servers have Huey's, more then likely hacked.

And when you read said wiki, it clearly states "This vehicle is currently not in the game unless it is running an older version, any seen in newer versions are not legitimate, and should not be taken lightly"
