This may be slightly off topic, but if anyone has the expertise to answer this question it lays within this group. I joined the 1/17 (Air) Cavalry shortly after Vietnam in 1974 as an ARP Medic. We called our huey’s, “Slicks,” our Cobras, “Snakes,” and the light observation birds “Loach.” Do the current military refer to their Blackhawks, Apaches and observers with similar terms? By the time I was medically retired in 1984 I had never heard them referred to as anything other than their nomenclature.
