From pictures on Instagram at least an (M?)H-60 with nosecode 615 could be identified, as well an MH-53 coded 436. Looks like a lot of helicopters are damaged, some even flipped over! Potential write offs, especially for the older H-53s?

Apparently 10 are Class A, thought I read somewhere 3x MH53E, 1x MH60R and 6x MH60S.

Hi,
Was 167880 read off for AJ615 please? I show this as being transferred to HSC-2 as HU742 (noted Oct19 and Feb20) ex AJ615?
Thanks
Mark

I also have 167880 as transferred to HU-742 already years ago (ex AJ-615). Did you use Scramble database to fill in the BuNo’s?
Besides, studying the pics I believe ‘46’ is more likely HU-746.
