Only the USMC is still operating the Cobra here in the states, IIRC

USFS for fire observation duties?).


Not true. The Minnesota National Guard, 3rd Battalion, 147th
Aviation Regiment, based at the St Paul airport, has 24 AH-1F
Cobras in their inventory. They fly regularly. They do have
plans to covert to the Apache, as the US Army plans to phase
out the Cobra by the end of 2004.
