This was filmed by (Now) Capt Reece Morgan, CTF-70 Staff aboard KH in 2008, April I think. ~~ Ret MCPO G Boone.

[Russo017]

i dunno looks like a sea king to me :P and they folded the rotor. But yeah it probably did take some damage

I did 2 Westpacs aboard that bird farm ( when we were CVA-63) and I don't remember any weather like that!!! Whew!
