This highly detailed rotorcraft package offers a specialized MH-6 reinterpretation of Tim Conrad’s original OH-6A model, showcasing the renowned 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Created with precision by developer Mark Rooks, this freeware add-on brings you a small yet robust helicopter favored for secretive, low-altitude missions. It includes a custom livery revealing the “Death Awaits In The Dark” theme, along with historical references to the 160th “Night Stalkers” and their unique motto. Moreover, everything seamlessly uses the default Microsoft Flight Simulator X helicopter panel, requiring no additional gauges or configurations.

Aircraft Background and Unit Legacy

Originally known as the OH-6A, this light observation platform has been reengineered here into an MH-6 variant to echo the operational style of the 160th SOAR. Often referred to as the Night Stalkers, this specialized United States Army regiment excels in helicopter aviation support with frequent tasks involving swift insertions, surprise attacks, and clandestine reconnaissance assignments. Headquartered at Fort Campbell, they serve various Special Operations Forces. Their agile rotorcraft, like this advanced “Little Bird,” are adept at low-level flight during nighttime operations, reflecting the unit’s steadfast credo: “Night Stalkers Don’t Quit And Six Guns Don’t Miss.”
