Michael, all of the USN HSL squadrons have one aircraft with at least some color paint (some are more artistic than others), all the other aircraft are all gray. My guess is the HS squadrons (and probably all the helo squadrons) do the same thing. Makes sense. I can't recall whether or not we were doing that in HS-2 in the 80's. And speaking of the airlift effort, I saw an SH-60B in one of the pictures. Those have almost zero cargo capability- to give you an idea, removing the sono launcher pretty much doubles the useful internal cargo room. I guess any added capability in the overall effort is a good thing though. One thing's for sure; there's going to be a lot of crews on the fast track to their Sikorsky 1000, 2000, etc. hours pins. --Mike |
