Photo Comment

An unmarked UH-60A+. At the time this picture was made, this Alpha was assigned to the 1-111th Avn Reg/77th CAB. The latter was deployed to support Operation Inherent Resolve, the fight against terrorism in Iraq and Syria. Camp Buehring in Kuwait is used for maintenance of the helicopters as well as rest and R&R for the crew. This 606 was withdrawn from use and stored at Huntssville (AL) by May'18. The US Army placed it into its Black Hawk Exchange and Sales Team (BEST) programme, so its very well possible the helicopter will show up in the FMS programme or with a civil operator.
