Marine H-46 Phrogs in Kuwait
January 22nd, 2010 | Photography | Posted by Erik Hildebrandt
The Marine helo detachment at Camp Buehring at Udairi Kuwait operates the oldest platform in Naval Aviation. Nearly 50 years old, these workhorse cargo aircraft are still flying cargo all around the AOR. This two-ship formation was flying over the practice ranges off base and in some of the shots, you can see the mock villages that are used for scenario training of ground forces. There are actually a variety of these staged outposts scattered around the ranges representing the wide variety of urban situations facing troops on the ground.
