MH-60G Pave Hawk, tail number 009 to be preserved

[Duggy009]

Maj. Gen. Chad P. Franks, 15th Air Force commander, and crew taxi the retirement flight for a MH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter at Hurlburt Field, Fla., May 5, 2021. Franks flew the very same MH-60 Pave Hawk during Operation Allied Force, rescuing a downed F-117 Nighthawk pilot from enemy territory. In 1999, during the same operation, the helicopter belonged to the 55th Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field. The helicopter is to be displayed at the Hurlburt Field Memorial Air Park.

Well that will make you feel old when later versions of the H-60 are becoming museum pieces....

You have to wonder how MG Franks felt about flying the bird for the final time. Neat, no doubt, that he was with an old friend in the air one more time but it's got to be sad to know when he shut down the engines, it'd be for the last time.
Still, better to know it'll be preserved than being chopped up for the recycling bin someday.
