Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

HH-60G or is it Mario?

Post by dinger »

Noted at an overcast day at Mildenhall was this Lakenheath based HH-60G which on first glance appeared normal, but on closer inspection, there is a moustache painted on the nose. Does anyone know what this may signify?

It may signify that this escaped the political correctness investigation of the air force in december 2012

It could also signify that the crew thought their ride looked better with a moustache
