Photo Comment

Located at the Navy Seal museum near Fort Pierce, this bird has quite some history under its belt. Commisioned in 1991, it amassed 5090 flight hours and saw action in Afghanistan, Colombia, Horn of Africa, Iraq, Poland, Okinawa and Somalia. It was shot down 3 times. But perhaps the most noteworthy of them all was when a SEAL team rescued Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted from Somali pirates in 2012, using this helicopter. After its active life it was donated to the museum.
