This Sea Dragon suffered some technical issues and was parked at Muharraq. Years later, on 19 July 2012, this MH-53E was written off during a heavy lift operation, 58 miles southwest of Muscat, Oman. Of the five crew on board, two were killed. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
