AH-1 Cobra Gunship "Scarface," Operation Tailwind Support Aircraft

An AH-1 Cobra gunship sits on the ramp, likely one of the "Scarface" call-sign aircraft that flew close air support for MACV-SOG's Operation Tailwind in 1970. These Cobras provided critical firepower protecting reconnaissance teams operating deep in hostile territory along the Laos-Cambodia border. Project: 219492
