The original helicopters for 160th came from the SF Group Aviation Detachments. They were supposed to improve maintenance, readiness, etc. Unfortunately, that went by the wayside and now, it is extremely rare for 160th to fly any kind of support for an SF Group. At one time, USASFC(A) and the subordinate Groups were slated for ZERO hours of support from 160th. I am not sure that has changed.
IMHO, most of the aviators from 160th are very good at what they do, but see themselves as more special than Special Forces, due to some of the units they work with.
Just my .02, YMMV.
