Approximately 12,000 US helicopters served during the Vietnam War. Approximately 5,000 were destroyed there. Approximately 40,000 US helicopter pilots served in Vietnam, of which about 2,200 were killed. In addition, approximately 2,500 helicopter crewmen perished.
6,000 to 8,000 choppers lost. Data will vary depending upon the source and the category of "lost." For example a "lost" helicopter may have been shot down and recorded destroyed (lost) to THE UNIT then recovered/repaired and put back into service with another agency or sold to civilians later. Most choppers were low and slow crashes and unless they burned were not totally destroyed; fixed wing aircraft were totally different...high speed crashes mostly, over 2,000 US jets or propeller driven warplanes were destroyed (lost) in Vietnam.

Why was America fighting in Vietnam a mistake?
What the war in Vietnam was... it was a SHAME. Our troops were involved in a conflict that is no different than the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq. The brave young men and women fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq are seen as heroes; the brave young men and women who fought in Vietnam were seen as trash, killers, and every other imaginable degrading name. The main difference between these conflicts... the American news media. Please, when you meet a Vietnam Vet, take the time to thank them for their service and tell them how sad America should be that these brave soldiers were treated the way they were.
