Photo Comment

This Alpha was most likely assigned to the A/1-111th AVN of the Puerteo Rico ARNG. The helicopter was allocated to BEST at Huntsville (AL) and offered for sale to US Gvmt agencies on 6 August 2018. It was then converted to UH-60A+ and left for the Afghan Air Force as 23269. After the Taliban took over the country in 2021, the Black Hawk was seen abandoned in Kabul. Current fate?
