Ah I see - thanks. So Bearcats were used but not by the US.

While having a wee look at aircraft used in Vietnam I noticed a Bearcat. I thought this odd as they were not used in Korea. Guess I'm missing something here. Why were they not used in Korea but used much later in Vietnam or was the website I was looking at wrong? Thanks, Nigel
