OH-58D Kiowa Warrior - Iraq Scout

A US Army (USA) OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter scouts ahead for a fleet of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters carrying US and IRaqi troops on a three-day, 10-mile air assault mission along the Zaghytun Chay river, about 50 miles southeast of Kirkuk, Iraq, Nov. 20, 2007. Note the .50cal cannon pod and 7-tube rocket pod carried by the Kiowa - ideal for engaging insurgents on the ground.
