Wow, at least 27 Raven and 16 Sioux LOH recoveries, must be in III Corps near the 3/4 Cav! And that is a lot of Hueys...
Some of the interesting silhouettes are Caribou, Beaver/Utility, Porter, Mohave, Birddog, CH-23, and what looks like a Twin Beech. I have no idea what the 2nd from bottom on the 2nd row is and there are a couple others that might be Skyraiders, and others I have no clue. Would be super interesting to see a full list.

That is a fascinating picture in a lot of different ways.
My first thought on seeing it was that each one of those silhouettes represents countless stories and who knows how many lives lost.

This is an awesome pic . There's a lot of history on that chook .
It suggests a hectic tempo of operations ?
