An advantage is that with a four man team you need two pilots and the other two can man guns in the rear and have excess room for gear inside and weapon pods on the outside.
Of course a Little Bird and any helicopter is just fine five years after the nukes, but a 150 showing up in one really isn't the way to recon a settlement.

Either 5 years or 150 it is still excellent for reconnaissance of roads, highways, bridges, rivers, railroad.......
It can take video or still images for assessment and using milimeter wave radar or LIDAR make accurate measurements for assessing areas to rebuild.
