The **Hughes OH-6 Cayuse (Model 369)** is a single-engine light observation and utility helicopter developed for the United States Army. First flown in 1963, it became a signature scout aircraft of the Vietnam War and served as the foundation for the civilian Hughes 500 / MD 500 family. Known for its agility and distinctive ovoid fuselage, the OH-6 was central to 'hunter-killer' tactics when paired with the Bell AH-1G Cobra.
