To Philippine Air Force in 1976 as 137741. Withdrawn from use, exported to the U.S. and registered as N2052H. Currently registered as N1728T as of September 2003.

This SH-3A was participating in the search for missing crewmen from the USCGC White Alder, which collided with a freighter on the Mississippi River just south of Baton Rouge. As can be seen in the slide a serious oil leak developed and the crew decided to divert to Baton Rouge rather than return to NAS New Orleans, their base, which was farther away.
