Zarbi ! tiens tiens : peut-être une relation avec   http://www.aerotorshow.fr/les-premieres-arrivees/  Danois et non Us Navy !

Très bien vu, d’autant que la peinture du rotor arrière correspond, on aperçoit le « quadrillage », et qu’en prime, en étant à l’aéroport de Valence - Chabreuil, ils sont vraiment tout près du Vercors.

Ça me semble la bonne explication :wink:

HH-60W ... "successeur du HH-60G Pave Hawk est basé sur l'UH-60M Black Hawk et optimisé pour les missions de recherche et sauvetage au combat de l'US Air Force. Il dispose notamment d'un nouveau kit de missions tactiques et d'un système de carburant interne qui permettra de doubler l'emport par rapport à l'UH-60M. Le contrat de développement d'1,28 milliard de dollars avait été notifié en juin 2014, la cible finale est de 112 appareils. Le programme global est évalué à 7,9 milliards de dollars"    https://www.journal-aviation.com/actualites/42459-le-hh-60w-s-envole

Le nouveau HH-60W vient d’être baptisé : "Jolly Green II"

Cela fera plaisir aux nostalgiques du vietnam!

Scramble:

"That Others May Live' continues with Jolly Green II

The US Air Force named its newest combat rescue helicopter, the Lockheed Martin’s Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. HH-60W, the “Jolly Green II,” following the legendary tradition of the Vietnam-era HH-3E Jolly Green and HH-53 Super Jolly Green crews who pioneered the combat search and rescue mission.

Secretary of the Air Force Barbara M. Barrett revealed the name at the 2020 Air Force Association’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando on 27 February 2020.

The primary mission of the 108 planned HH-60Ws of the USAF will be conducting day and night combat search and rescue operations into hostile environments to recover isolated personnel during war. The HH-60W, that replaces the HH-60G Pave Hawk, will also be tasked to perform military operations other than war, including civil search and rescue, medical evacuation, disaster response, humanitarian assistance, security cooperation/aviation advisory, NASA space flight support, and rescue command and control.

The first two units to be fielded with the Jolly Green II will be the 41st Rescue Squadron at Moody AFB (GA) and the 512th Rescue Squadron at Kirtland AFB (NM). The photo shows HH-60W 14-4483 (as 14483), the third known serial. 14-4481 flew for the first time 17 May 2019."
