Thanks for the info, Damon.   Hows the machine running?  Just passing time here at the computer lab in between classes.

In all my years spotting at LAX, this is the FIRST time I've ever seen a Jayhawk there.

Here are two shots of a H-60 series helicopter with an In Flight Refueling Probe. I haven't seen any of the permanently assigned NI helos with I.F.R. probes. The second pic cleatly shows A.F.R.C.

Look like USAF MH-60 Pavehawks.   Nice catch.

The blue color is tempra paint that can be easily washed off. I have in the past while on active duty, painted F-14 Tomcats with tempra paint to try and disquise them during operations over forrested or desert conditions. Darker colors of tempra paint will leave a slight tint in the low vis paint when the tempra paint is washed off.

Hey Rander!

Actually, that's permanent blue. NAVAIR was doing a 'trial' on that particular color scheme, and HS-6 evaluated it.

That's HH-60H, BuNo 163784. Used to be an HCS-5 Firehawk bird, and made two trips to Iraq. She was a special guest at our first Firehawk reunion in March 2009.

Great shots...

Probably 66th RQS out of Nellis....Air Force MH-60G squadron. They wander out to NI from time to time.

There's a couple of 160th SOAR MH-60L birds running around NI also...been here for a few weeks now.

Hmmm, is that a Shayne paint job?

Hmmm, is that a Shayne paint job? 

I don't think so, as her site does not show it and she did not mention any recent projects.

The debris adds a cool effect!
