This Bell OH-58A Kiowa is being presented to the auction by the Aerospace Department at Middle Tennessee State University. The contact for this item is Aubrey Vest.
Aubrey can be reached by email at Aubrey.Vest@mtsu.edu. Any questions presented to us through the auction site will be forwarded to Aubrey for an answer.
This is a Bell OH-58A Kiowa (S/N 70-15276). It was acquired from the U.S. Army, and it has been a training aid in our aircraft maintenance training program for a long while. It used to run all the time for class, but it hasn’t been run in maybe 10 or more years. It also has been stored outside throughout its time in our program, and as a result, it has fallen into severe disrepair. However, this helicopter does come with some logbooks with maintenance history in them, but I am not sure how complete they are.
