The Bell OH-58 Kiowa is a family of single-engine, single-rotor, military helicopters used for
observation, utility, and direct fire support. Bell Helicopter manufactured the OH-58 for the United
States Army based on its Model 206A JetRanger helicopter. The OH-58 was in continuous U.S. Army
service from 1969 to 2017, when it was replaced in this role by the Boeing AH-64 Apache.
The latest model, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior, is primarily operated in an armed reconnaissance role in support of ground troops.
The TH-57 SeaRanger is a derivative of the commercial Bell Jet Ranger 206. Although primarily used for training, these aircraft are also used for photo, chase and utility missions.
Below is a partial list of airframes that survived military service.
