Not in units but I hear the Arizona desert has many, many Loach
frames/fuselages laying in the desert just waiting to be
overhauled/rebuilt.

You are joking, right? The last Loaches left the Army years ago, and they
are not going to be upgrading/rebuilding any of them, of that you can be
assured. They are likely recycling them, though...



In actuality, the Army is still flying 8 V-tailed OH-6As, as MH-6Cs.
They are part of the SOATC.

As for the rest, they are mostly gone. Over 900 were lost in RVN
alone. The largest current user of OH-6As is the Border Patrol.
