Maybe I miss a crucial line somewhere (and if I do I seriously appologise), but if you guys are talking about the first HUEY and it's partners - they all came from The Ethiopian Airforce.
Sorry if it is a "newer story and later heli's" - I just could not pick it up if it is.

PS: Beautiful day in the Cape - Huey should make a (nearly said killing) lot of money today.
