They usually get that info out fast. Is it me or is the military being “tight lipped” a little out of the ordinary? Anybody have unclass intel on this?

Fly4five Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I see plane spotters reporting a p-8 and C-17 were also in the area at the time. Hopefully we'll get more info soon.

The NYTimes article says MH-60 and special forces but the U.S. Navy operates a small fleet of MH-60R/S helos that support ASW and SOF. Regardless, a sad day.

Tracking the Navy also has MH-60’s that do SOF support, but they don’t do HAAR and all the links said it was during an air refueling event. You hit the nail on the head with the last line though brother. I was selfishly hoping there’d be minimal chance I knew those involved. Not great odds now.

I'm super impressed they were able to recover the entire crew so fast. Sister ship was on point or there was a ship right there at the time. Water recovery at night like that is impressive.

I hope more data gets made public as there's a super brave dude on sister ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
