Thank you so much, Jinxie, for finding this article.

It threw me that while all television coverage from Day One clearly related "the pilot was killed and the other pilot injured," the newspaper coverage sloughed it off as simply a "soldier" was killed.
(yawn, yawn - moving right along...)

An observation helicopter surely is a high risk aircraft when assigned in combat, and I felt she deserved full recognition, not seeing any national follow-up.

She flies in true glory now....
