Seen here while taxiing to runway 28 for take off as local rules and regulations do not permit large helicopters to lift off from a stand. On 28 August 2003, 88-00098 was lost due to an accident in Iraq. The aircraft encountered brown-out conditions during landing at a refuel point and impacted the ground, coming to rest on its right side. No fatalities.
