Use 1 or 2 wings as follows USA Air Cav make up from memory
HQ Wing + 3 Recon Wings + 2 Attack Wings

Recon Wing = 6 Scout + 4 Attack Helos
Attack Wing = 4 Scout + 7 Attack Helos
HQ Wing = 1 Scout + 1 Attack + 6 Transport Helos

From around 2000 you can get helo wars with the right sides with them shooting missiles at each other.
The trouble i see with that scenario, and it seems sound as a plan.
The AI will rarely cooparate with your plans ,unless you buy for it.
Likely it will muster scads of manpads AA and infrantry which will send helios in a panic,your gonna need possible Arty and grunt scouts as well.
Scout helios are good for draining off AA,but some ground support is needed IMO.

Scenario #59 Egypt airmoble attack seems to be a good example on a good plan.
