Showa era
Destroy All Monsters
A fictional OH-6 called the Hughes I500 transported Monsterland personnel to and from the facility there.
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
On the night of July 3, 1992,[1] two Hughes OH-6Ds were used to survey Mount Fuji in search of a UFO that had appeared over Tokyo two nights prior. The pair spotted the craft at the foot of the mountain, but it shot them down.
Godzilla vs. Mothra
As the larval Mothra approached Tokyo Bay, an OH-6D participated in a JMSDF operation to repel her, alongside a UH-1B, the DDH-142 Hiei, and a fleet of Hatsuyuki-class destroyers. The Cayuse overflew the battlefield, but didn't seem to attack.
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
At least one Hughes 500E existed in G-Force's inventory by 1996. Following the destruction of Baas Island as a result of Godzilla's impending meltdown, Miki Saegusa piloted the helicopter on a mission to locate Godzilla Junior, who was traveling north towards his nest site on Adonoa Island. Later, during Godzilla and Junior's final battle with Destoroyah, Miki and Meru Ozawa piloted the chopper over the battlefield in time to witness Destoroyah drop Junior onto Ariake Coliseum, mortally wounding him. After landing the helicopter, Miki and Meru ran towards Junior, but Destoroyah blasted him with his Micro-Oxygen Ray, killing him and destroying the helicopter.

Two MH-6 Little Birds are used to locate a Japanese cannery ship that was attacked and destroyed by Godzilla.
