Participant to Airlift Rodeo 92 drill. Former USAF 86-1973;

Delivered to Inter-Island Airways in January 1937 as NC16934. To Alaska Airlines in July 1949 as N16934. Damaged and sank in Chignik Bay, Alaska (not Tetlin Lake as widely reported) on 1 June 1951. Cancelled as destroyed that same month. Often reported as becoming N326, but this is not correct (N326 was c/n 4342). Wreck salvaged from Chignik Bay by Gary Larkins in 1981 and donated to the US Marine Corps Air-Ground Museum that same year, then to Pima in 1985. By August 1991 the markings '2-MJ-4' were applied. The markings visible in this photo are fake (the real 1061 was c/n 4344) and were applied in the late 1990s or in early 2000.

Constructed as a HOK-1, but redesignated OH-43D around 1962. Transferred to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposal Center (MASDC) with inventory number 5H0003 in February 1965. By 1991 it was acquired by the Pima Air & Space Museum and received ' Marines' colors and WB-7 marking. By September 2011 the aircraft received the paint that you see in this photo.

This Blackhawk belonged to HMX-1 and accompanied POTUS George Bush during an unexpected visit to the US Embassy-Kabul. Multiple 1-160th CH-47Ds, MH-47Gs, UH-60Ls and two HMX-1 VH-60Ns landed on or near HQ ISAF that is close to the US Embassy. Overhead was an AC-130 and a flight of A-10s gave Close Air Support while F-16s gave top cover. Quite an operation! Unfortunately, the HMX-1 helicopters are very difficult to read and the weather was not that good this day. But this is really 163266 :-)

Painted as US Marines PBJ-1J 31171, but is in fact ex USAAF 44-31171 and N7614C. It never flew for the Marines.

President Obama visited Israel. Marines squadron HMX-1 had twelve VH-3 and eight VH-60 VVIP helicopters as of 2015. The air-transportable VH-60's head room isn't great and this is why you still see the old VH-3 on the White House south lawn. Photo from: National Photo Collection of Israel
