Obviously I know it's a UH-60 of some sort, but what are the pink
markings all about? I tried to rush over to the helo-port but it was

Is there someone from the unit this aircraft belongs to that you could ask?

Was thinking along those same lines myself. Maybe it's from New Hope,
PA or Provincetown, MA

Helping out Cal Fire?


Bingo!

HH-60G of the 129th Rescue Wing, CA ANG painted up with temporary high

I've watching from above (via satellite). That, and we had some
