"Black" helicopter's secret mission into North Vietnam

I saw this over on The Miniatures Page, posted by Tango01. It is about a nearly silent Air America helicopter used to infiltrate North Vietnam for a telephone tap of the North Vietnamese high command.

The article has  a lot on development that you could skim if you want to. But don't give up without finishing it. The mission was pretty cool.

Wild, I had never heard of this at all! I know one of the Twin Packs was shot down during a mission, by a Mig-17 no less. Really odd that they didn't keep any around, could have been really useful in other places. Guess that's part of the problem with secrecy, word doesn't leak to other departments that might have a use for it.
