Final Approach
in my inbox today
-----------------------------------------------
This Squadron is based at the US Naval Air Facility in Atsugi, Japan.
The Carrier is the USS Kitty Hawk, based in Yokosuka, Japan. They
were underway for CQ (Airwing Carrier Qualifications) in the Sea of Japan
week of March 22, 2008. The Helicopter on Spot 2 is a Sikorsky SH-60F.
From the boys at HS-14....
Attached is a short video I think you might enjoy.
It was shot aboard KITTY HAWK a few days ago as the ship was trying to
kick off air wing CQ.
The helo parked backwards on spot 2 is 617. Manny had just landed and
the seas were too rough to move it to a safer place.
Fortunately, it only suffered some minor damage (blade crutch
support socket) and a lot of salt water intrusion. It's flying again
already.
