This MH-60S of the Longhorns (the nickname of the NAS Fallon search and rescue (SAR) flight) crashed near Mt. Hogue (CA) at approximately 5 p.m. on 16 July 2021, while conducting SAR operations. All four crewmembers survived the crash without injury and have been safely recovered. The status of the helicopter is not clear yet (19 July 2021). The Seahawk, call sign Longhorn 02, was supporting Mono County SAR efforts to locate a lost hiker in the rugged high-altitude terrain (11,700 feet above sea level) in the National Forest south of Boundary Peak, 120 miles south of Fallon.
