OH-6 Cayuse, U. S. Army (66-7804), Camp Shelby, Mississippi Armed Forces Museum

            The OH-6 Cayuse is a single-engine light helicopter that was designed and produced by the Hughes Tool Company. It was intended to be used as a light observation helicopter and was given the nickname "Loach" from the acronym for Light Observation Helicopter. The OH-6A Cayuse entered service in 1966. It was built for a crew of two and was mostly used by the U. S. Army in Vietnam for enemy observation and hunt and kill missions.  These missions were usually operated along with a high-flying Cobra gunship. The OH-6 Cayuse would fly low over the jungle, drawing fire and then call for the Cobra to swoop down to attack the enemy. After serving in the Vietnam War, the OH-6 Cayuse was replaced by the OH-58 Kiowa.
