Very original. The JG is the HH-53 to me. Looks good though.

It's not really giant is it. Rescue Hawk may have been a more appropriate name.

Regardless of name, does anyone know if we're likely to see any based in the UK?

Probably not 56th RQS is at Aviano AB nowdays.
And former space at LN being used by one the (new) F-35 FS as I understand.

But the 56th has been at Iceland and UK before. So who knows what future plans the USAF has for basing the RQS units.

56th Rescue Squadron flew its last HH-60G mission and they have also received their first HH-60W week ago.
