| Text | This helo, tail number 69-6644, was assigned to the 20th |
| Special Operations Squadron at Hurlburt Field Florida. The | |
| photo was taken in the spring of 1983 to demonstrate the | |
| capabilities of the "special ops" aircraft for the MAC | |
| staff. In the spring of 1984 this aircraft was lost in the | |
| waters near Nassua Bahama while conducting a night drug | |
| interdiction mission. The Pilot, Co-Pilot, Flight Engineer, | |
| a DEA agent, and several Bahamania police officers were lost | |
| at sea. The Aerial Gunner and two Bahamania Officers | |
| survived the crash. The aircraft was not recovered. |
