D/1/10 had some USAF cammo type aircraft, AH-1G and OH-6. They were painted in country. All the "sharkmouth" designs used by Cobra units in Vietnam had specific patterns, that one is D/1/10's design. Also, the "eye" with fire coming out of it was a D/1/10 exclusive. "I believe the number of the cobra was 66-15273 and crew chief on it in mid 1969 and early 1970 was Richard Workman. As I remember, it was the only camo cobra that we had during that time." - Charlie Eaves	Cobra 33 patch was worn by one of the pilot's who flew the Camo Cobra. It was sewn on the survival vest.

They went down a line of copters and threw satchel charges in the ones marked with the 1/10 cav flag on the tail boom. There were a couple of new ones in line that didn't have the cav flag on them and they weren't bothered. Image courtesy of Charlie Eaves
