Kiowa - Air Cavalry


What my Brother (and yours) flew in the 1st Cavalry before he transitioned to airplanes (and yes he wore the Cavalry Hat).
Great video of the Kiowa OH-58 scout helicopter.

Note: Duane sent me this in response to the Kiowa video,
"Hey that's one of my old units at Ft Hood, Delta
Troop 1st squadron, 7th cavalry."










This is what he switched to, the RC-12. He flew this as a
member of the 1st Military Intelligence Battalion in Germany
supporting U.S. and Allied Forces in the Balkans.






































He then moved on to the passenger version of the C-12 plane,
which is what he flew for the Army in Korea, Germany, Iraq, the Army National Guard in Virginia and continues to fly now
with the Army National Guard in Idaho.


















In between getting out of the Army (he joined the Guard soon after) and going full time with the National Guard, Duane flew this plane for United Express (if you ever flew United Express between Washington. DC and Chicago he may have been your pilot).
