Anyone know of any pics of Mexican Navy MD900’s in operational service? A picture of one deployed on one of the Halcyon/Holzinger Class OPV’s would be even more special if theres one around?
Here you have Jonesy:

IIRC, a Kiowa was shot down in Iraq not long ago. Does anyone know how? RPG? These things are pretty agile, so I’m curious.
A U.S. Army OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopter crashes near the northern town of Qayyarah, killing the two pilots. The cause of the crash is unclear.
The OH-6 is much more(I think) agile that the OH-58…
