This is our most complete list of helicopters that were assigned to

Light Horse (as D3/5 & C3/17) and Charliehorse (as D3/5).

The list was painstakingly prepared for the WWWeb by

Long Knife Crew Chief, Claude Stevens.

The data is based on the "Gold Book" and was provided by

Gary Roush at VHPA.

If you can't find your old ship it is probably because the way the computers had some problems reading "D3/5" as a unit designator.

The aircraft are most likely listed as being in other units.

Let us know and we'll try to run down a missing tail number.
