Kiowa Warriors spotted over Linn County

I like aircraft, especially helicopters. So, as you can imagine, yesterday was a special treat for me to see a flight of six OH-58 Kiowa Warrior helicopters as they passed our house. My guess is they were headed to Salem. The Oregon National Guard's blackhawk helicopters just left a few days ago to head towards Iraq and I heard that some of the other states would be filling in for them here in Oregon. I haven't confirmed it yet, but I think these Kiowa's are the choppers and their crews filling in for now. Below are some pictures I found on the Internet of Kiowa Warriors. The ones I saw did not have any visible weaponry at the time but these pictures give you an idea of what the chopper looks like.
