Pequod during the 1980s.
Pequod was the callsign for Diamond Dogs' helicopters during the 1980s. From what can be seen, it is the designated codename for the chopper responsible for personally assisting Venom Snake, whether it be simple transportation or dispatching assistance as part of the Support Unit, although Pequod pilots have also assisted other Combat Unit members as well.
One Pequod pilot was killed by the Parasite Unit's metallic archaea while transporting Venom Snake and Code Talker out of the Angola-Zaire border region. The chopper's windshield was shattered, causing glass to fly into his face.
