I just realized there should be a TH67 category for the IERW folks. I guess those questions/comments can go here.

Why do I see TH67s on the books in National Guard units as OH58s? Are these units not deployable? What mission would they do other than something Homeland Security related?

Are we expecting the Army to begin purchasing and using these? (Please NO!)

This question may be below your pay grade. But why is it that the Navy's trainer is the TH-57 and the Army's is the TH-67. They are both Bell 206s aren't they?

The difference is the period the aircraft were procured by the respective service:

The TH-57A was purchased by the Navy as a primary VFR trainer in 1968 (predates the Army's selection of the Bell 206A as the OH-58A). The TH-67A was purchased by the Army in 1993 for primary and instrument training.

TH-57A = Bell 206A
TH-67A = Bell 206B3

Yep. On a sidenote they are starting to aquire digital cockpits for some of their TH-57's now.

Now if I could just convince the Army to buy the MH-53E's I used to work on....
