CH-46 Makes Final Flight

摘要

US Marine Corps operations with the CH-46E Sea Knight ended on August 1 at a retirement ceremony at the Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum's Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center, in Virginia. The final squadron flying the type was Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 774 (HMM-774) 'Wild Goose' at Chambers Field, Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia and 153369 'MQ-400' performed the type's last flight at the retirement ceremony. The helicopter is painted in a high-visibility retro-colour scheme and is destined to go on display eventually in a new annexe at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico.
