Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Apparently this was applied for two days before command had them repaint it. Assigned to 3/227th out of Fliegerhorst in Erlensee-Langendiebach. It was crewed by Rick Webb. What other cool Kiowas are out there? Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 I like them both. The Aussie ones are cool. The Silver Eagles just look better with Loaches. IMHO Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyf117 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) It's a little-known fact that the first Aussie Kiowas were leased from the US Army in Vietnam during 1971-72: http://www.161recceflt.org.au/unitaircraft/kiowa/history_of_bell_oh58.htm Edited January 27 by andyf117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
