Bell Kiowa 206B-1
Australian Army
Avalon Airshow - September 2009

The Bell 206B-1 Kiowa (1972-2019) was primarily employed for airborne observation and flying training. It was also utilised for the command and control of tactical aircraft, such as the F/A-18 and F-111. They often worked closely with artillery and armoured cavalry units. The Kiowa was replaced in 2018 by the Eurocopter EC135 under HATS.
