The Army in 1966 kept Beavers, Otters, and L-19 spotters. We gave up Caribou and C-123s but all helicopters stayed Army if I remember rightly.
The Army also had what ever the military twin Beech was called but only for general officer transportation.
I don’t know what this has to do with the article we are discussing but in 1966 in Vietnam I served with an NCO that was in the Army for 12 years and was in a drone unit. I was in a UH-1 unit and he was on OJT for his 12 month tour but knew he was going to go back to drones because that was his primary MOS.
So back then he talked about the capability of drones to have cameras and fire rockets and I have often wondered why we didn’t have them in Vietnam.
