Seahawk from San Diego, two of them visiting. I was told by the IP that these aircraft are brand new, and they appear to be in very good shape.

090610-N-9740S-006 ADRIATIC SEA (June 10, 2009) The sun sets on a day of at-sea operations aboard the multipurpose amphibious assault ship USS Bataan (LHD 5). Bataan is on a scheduled deployment performing maritime security operations in the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility. (U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist Tony Sisti/Released)

FYI...that is an MH-60S KNIGHTHAWK...by the looks of the nose bay, it's a Block III as well.
Yeah, Block III. The puddle is probably from the engines dumping fuel on shutdown (normal ops). Must be very new, even the intake plugs look new.
Yep, concur on the ODV pool...and neither of the pitot tube covers are melted, so you know the bird has less than 100 hours
What is that fancy crap attached below the OAT tubes at the top of the nose bay?
It IS a Block III, but no chaff/flare provisions below the gunner's window?
I have no clue what that stuff below the OAT sensor is.Yep, concur on the ODV pool...and neither of the pitot tube covers are melted, so you know the bird has less than 100 hours

Block III countermeasure buckets are on the tail. You can see the mounting point aft of the transition section. It looks like a trapezoid with two circles in the middle. Only the Air Ambulance aircraft have the countermeasures under the gunners window, and that's because those aircraft were cobbled together.
