They moved in from Keflavik a little while ago ,and they’re USAF MH60 Pave Hawks rather than Army Black Hawks. CH53s departed a long time ago, big choppers (ooh er missus) at Mildy are MH53M Pave Low IIIs and will remain in situ. The MH60 re-location to LN is a little odd with a better special ops infrastructure at Mildy… 🙁

The HH60’s at Lakenheath are primarily roled as SAR but are not used as such yet. They aren’t really special ops machines although are equipped with guns at the moment. Being here rather than down the road was following a detailed assessment and that is why they are here…
(I hinted at such things on post 22)
