Retro Wednesday

Nice.

HSC-84's retro paint job for the Centennial of Naval Aviation. Red Wolf 202 is painted like a HAL Huey from Vietnam.
Of note - we have been at war longer now than we were in Vietnam - depending on how you measure it.

In Vietnam, the Navy created and developed fixed and rotary wing squadrons to meet the unique requirements of the war at hand. What have we done? What were our priorities while USA and
allied forces bled out due to a lack of proper RW, or were killed outright due to lack of air support - like HAL provided in Vietnam?

Priorities, I presume.



Hat tip BA.
UPDATE: At the 3:30 point, you can see the Seawolves in action - but you should just watch the whole thing.
