MH-60S WC-54 was 166364. last week !

Thanks guys. I'll dig further on the Harriers now the unit is known.
I've been told there were 3 Puma's and 4 Chinooks in total for the RAF deployment.

Thanks for the MH60 K2G.
WC54 used to be 166364 too in 2017. Went most likely into depot late last year when it was seen u/m and now rts again as WC54.


Edit: Seems the VMA-223 Harriers participated in ITX 3-18.
