Looking for information on one the six OH-58's I worked on in Nam. I have located two still flying with National Guard units, two that were lost in accidents, one exported to Mexico. The last aircraft is 827. Last record I have found she was undergoing modification in Mississippi during 2007. She may be with the Border Patrol, or National Guard. Any information will be appreciated.

I'm a former Border Patrol Agent. I'm not aware of the Border Patrol ever having any OH-58's. We had a bunch of OH-6's.

After a phone call to the facility that last reported 827, she was declared surplus, stripped of usable parts, and scrapped. Sad end for a good aircraft.
