I'm thinking AH-1, because that was the helicopter that was used during Vietnam as a gunship along side the UH-1 Huey, so far the only conflict we've had with a lot of jungles in modern times was vietnam and boy did we use a heck of a lot of napalm then.
But then again, could be the havok since I've not really looked at that guy much, don't know its history well enough.

Your thinking could be correct...
But then again, you may have missed an important detail...

Heh,
I am now beginning to think that it was the Hind since the outboard pods on the wings could be used to drop freefall bombs or else anti-tank missiles. I find it interesting that this could also mount grenade launchers, or for that matter chemical weapons dispenser, even mines.
Too bad I can't take back my vote.

No other guesses? No other opinions?
We are still getting votes, but not opinions...
How about it people?

I'm thinking the Hind, for all the action it saw in Afghanistan. It seems like napalm would have been a useful tool against all those rebels.

The Hind seems most likely to me, too, but to be honest I had never before heard of napalm being employed by helicopters.

Yes it is indeed true that helos have employed napalm... 
AH-1 Cobras used in in Vietnam and Hinds used it in Afghanistan...
But what Chopper still employs it today is the question?

The answer is...
The Mi-24 Hind!... 
Only the Russians still use napalm...
The M1-28 has not yet carried it and probably wont, due to the design of this chopper to be used as a standoff weapon like the Apache to avoid losses...
It was a very simple question that many of you missed, due to the twist of it being a helo. However, the US retired all its napalm weapons in the 1990s...
