Not to bring up massively old thread, but I was there part of the Stryker escout for the Helicopter recovery team, basically the QRF for the mission. I was the driver for the lead vehicle that escorted the flatbed to recover the OH58-D, A Troop 1-14Cav. Read thru most of this thread, most of it is accurate Any questions I can try to answer. I don't want to post because of stolen valor, etc. but I have a photo of the Kiowa on a flatbed(I took it when we got on base) and I have a short clip of the Kiowa down from a UAV.
