The 62nd Aviation Company was activated in 1957 as part of the U.S. Army, originally tasked with providing aerial reconnaissance and support. During the Vietnam War, the unit became well-known for its use of the De Havilland Canada CV-2 Caribou aircraft, performing critical supply and transport missions in challenging environments. The 62nd earned a reputation for bravery and adaptability, often operating from short, unimproved airstrips under fire. After Vietnam, the company continued serving in various capacities before being inactivated as part of Army aviation restructuring.
