Interesting paint prospects. Would definitely make me blow dust off of my Janet 737 in my system. Im just afraid that THIS may happen to all of us on this thread:

That would make sense as it has no unit markings! is anyone going to paint the 4 of them up?

Would it be possible too paint some of the JYAI MH-60Ms in Air Force grey also, as they just about match up to what the new HH-60Ws will look like?

Working at an ANG airport which has an alert mission, those planes aren't set up for that mission. Alert birds are always sheltered with multiple paths of egress. The D's also never get used for that mission. The more likely is as chase planes or test aircraft.

I'll try to research that as well, I was wondering the same as the 1st pics I saw of the new Pave Hawk was designated "U" a few years ago. I'm also reading about the 21 Army "L" models the USAF is making into "G" standard.

The 21 Army "L"s are combat loss replacements to bring the G-fleet back up to full strength till the HH-60W comes on line in 2020. These HH-60Us are the real mystery, based on a UH-60M and modified, but only used at Groom.
