Goodbye Kiowa Warrior • Badass Little Helicopter

Five Kiowa Warrior helicopters flew for the final time from Bagram Airfield, followed by a demonstration of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, a badass little helicopter. A single engine reconnaissance helicopter that is capable of firing Hellfire missiles, Hydra 70 rockets, Stinger missiles, and 50-calibre machine guns. Soldiers of C Troop, 1st Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division flew the emotional final flight because the air frame is transitioning out of use by the U.S. Army. Final flight filmed on November 22, 2014. Film & Image Credits: SGT Chloe Barnes, SFC Eric Pahon, MAJ Enrique Vasquez Derivative Works: Gung Ho Vids
