Aviano retires the last active duty HH-60G Pave Hawks

[Zonan]

on 12/02 I noted 2 HH-60Gs and 3 HH-60Ws on the ramp at Aviano. The 2 Golf models were folded up and packed in covers and standing outside all 3 days that I was there, the 3 Whiskeys were not outside all the time.

I have yet to go through my pictures to try and read them off, but the Whiskey 14487 flew those days for sure

[Zonan]

coming back to my previous post:
The furthest HH-60G has "471" written on below the main rotor, which makes this 92-26471.
The other HH-60G was not readable.
The 3 HH-60Ws were:
17-14487 with no tailcode
xx-1449x with FT tailcode
21-14524 with no tailcode, this makes the 4th W model for Aviano now known

All four must have gone elsewhere because none of them are listed on the latest AMARG inventory.

HH-60G 87-26007, 89-26205, 92-26471, 97-26774 Last Flight on 18-12-2024

Don't rush, you will soon find them in one of the next AMARG inventories

89-26205 and 97-26774 were added to AMARG inventory on 4feb25.

The C-5 on the 13rd was the last transport aircraft visiting Aviano, this would mean that no "G" model left yet.

Hi Maurizio,

Can you post the serial numbers of the C-5s that are involved in delivering the HH-60W and collecting the HH-60G from Aviano please? Maybe we can create a full picture.

Thanks, Klaas
