The Bell 206 in its original form, tucked away in storage in Building 6008 at Fort Rucker where Alan Wilson managed to take a photo of it. The fourth Bell 206 airframe, it was formally the first military OH-4. Serial 62-4201 had also been assigned to a C-140 and the helicopter was reserialled 62-4202 in a paper move, but 4201 is nevertheless authentic. The OH-4 lost to the OH-6 Cayuse in the Light Observation Helicopter competition. The redesigned Bell 206A later struck back as the OH-58. Photo by: Alan Wilson
