A case study in Offensive Air Support, Assault Support, Command and Control, and Aerial Reconnaissance, the Marine utility helicopter of choice is truly a microcosm of Marine Aviation. With low-flying AH-1s aimed in on the hostile street ahead and hovering UH-1s covering adjacent rooftops, combat Marines can engage under the watchful eye of close air support. U.S. Marine helicopter is found with bodies near the wreckage of a U.S. Marine helicopter that disappeared earlier this week while on a relief mission in the earthquake-hit Himalayan nation, and officials said it was unlikely there were any survivors from the crash. All 8 people in the helicopter are dead. The wreckage of the helicopter was found in pieces above 11,200ft avobeon the mountain.
