That is one impressive life of service for this spunky, little helicopter. As a small observation, utility and direct fire support helicopter, the Bell OH-58 Kiowa may not be as well-known as the UH-60 Blackhawk or AH-64 Apache, but the Kiowa was the U.S. Army’s workhorse for nearly fifty years. It was only in last July that the Kiowa made its final flight with the U.S. military. On July 9, 2020, eight pilots with the 1st Battalion, Aviation Regiment, flew OH-58C Kiowa helicopters in a double “V” formation over the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk for the aircrafts’ final flight at JRTC and Fort Polk. Replaced by the UH-72 Lakota, it marked the end of the line for the OH-58, which first entered service in May 1969. The helicopters had proved invaluable to the U.S. Army when it was first introduced as an armed observation and reconnaissance aircraft during the war in Vietnam.
