Actually.....the Title more accurately should read "Last CH-46 Lost in Vietnam".

Probably the last helicopter lost was the Huey hit by a SA-7 Strella missile while flying the ICCS Mission after the end of the War.

There was also the loss of the Jolly Greens in Cambodia during the Mayaguez Rescue attempt.

That was a very tragic ordeal for all involved.
