OH-58A

The OH-58A Kiowa, a foundational helicopter, is a militarized variant of the Bell 206 Jet Ranger. The OH-58A served extensively in Vietnam and is one of the most popular helicopters ever produced globally.

While Osborne Aviation Services is listed as the manufacturer, the OH-58 series originated with Bell Helicopter in the 1960s. The OH-58A designation was applied when the helicopter was re-designated for military use.
