Does Anyone Have Information On These Aircraft?

These were taken by my grandfather during the Vietnam War. He was based at Firebase Timbuktu for his service, which was a bit east of Ho Chi Minh (near Bac Nui). I believe that photos 2 and 8 are the same helicopter.

BTW, Photo 5 is the only photo where I don't know the type. I'm wondering if anybody can get registrations or information that might lead to registrations

Edit: I know what kind of helicopters they are! (Thanks for informing me about the OH-6 tho)

Also, the UH-1 in photo 6 appears to be marked as '293', meaning it's either 151293 or 61-0713 (MSN 293)

Edit 2: Photo 7 (Chinook) is 64-13143, which was later shot down by a missile

Can't Log Into Forums

Hello! A bit ago, I tried to log into Forums with my saved password on the computer. It didn't work. I figured that I'd gotten the wrong password in the computer and tried to put a few others in that I use. However, none of them worked! I changed my password multiple times, always to new passwords that I hadn't used before. None let me in, even when I tried to log in again!

I asked the JP mod team what was going on, and they were extremely unhelpful. They told me to do things that I'd already done then didn't respond when I told them that it didn't work.

I have some photos that I want prescreening on and I also have a few suggestions for new hot photo guidelines. Does anybody know what I can do to get back into my account?

Unable To Log Into Forums

Hello!

While trying to log into forums, I was given the message that my password was incorrect. This was the password that I had saved on my Passwords, by the way. So, I reset my password and entered the new password. It still won't let me in. What's going on?

Crashed Piper PA-23

"Whilst approaching Trinidad at an altitude of 7 500'ft,on a VFR flight, the weather deteriorated. The pilot was unable to contact the Piarco Control Tower in order to change his flight plan to instrument flight rules. He reduced his height and regained visual contact at an altitude of 500 ft, but due to heavy rain, decided to climb back to a safe altitude. Shortly afterwards a steep forested mountain appeared directly ahead, which the pilot was unable to avoid. The pilot and co-pilot who were the only occupants, escaped with minor injuries."

Crash site at 10°44'21.32"N 61°35'47.28"W

What Can I Do Better?

Video: 2 Crashes Found Next To Each Other On Google Earth! (Title isn't final)

This is a compilation of planes found on Google Earth, featuring 3 crash sites and 10 total finds. I show where each find is and give a bit of information about each find as I show them off. This is my second most popular series. It's aimed towards the younger (teen) aviation community but I've been getting a lot of adults watching my videos.

These videos generally get a few thousand views but I feel like my thumbnails for this series have been falling off recently.

I'm still definitely learning, and will happily take advice!

Are Any Of These Workable?

Does the second one count as obstructed if the object is connected to the plane?

New Aircraft Type Rejected

I took a photo of the Strauch Funeze at Aurora yesterday and the request for a new type was rejected. This is a homebuilt aircraft that was custom built but based off of the design of the Rutan Long-EZ/VariEze. Should this have been rejected?

DC-3 Takes A Very Long Time To Take Off

I thought they'd abort the takeoff but they didn't! Wonder what happened
