On this line I'm finishing up Micheal Durant's book In The Company Of Heroes. Can any one tell me if his bird super 64 would have been black or helo drab? I also have a MH 47 and MH6 I would like to complete my next trip home. Any AH 64's in the 160th SOAR(A)if so Black? |

I have been told by those who were there, in particular intruder_bass, that all of the -60's used in the Mog were flat black, not the standard Helo Drab.
And no, no -64's in the 160th; they were formed primarily for the support and transport of Special Operation Forces (including Army Rangers, Delta, Green Berets, and, occasionally, SEALs), and the -64 (especially the "D") is, essentially, a tank-killer, so no -64's were assigned to them. The most heavily armed aircraft they have in their inventory is the AH-60L DAP, though purists will tell you the "A" designation is not officially used in conjunction with any -60's, it's technically an "armed" MH-60.
