'Secret' helicopter flights in the Washington DC area

[freqhopping]

So this has been in the news this week. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/2 ... he-capital


I haven't noticed activity more than usual. Tonight I'm hearing PAT21 and PAT24 flights of three H-60s. Quick trip to the north and back. The three I'm tracking on mode-s are not most recently affiliated with the 12th Aviation BN at Belvoir.

90-26250 1-135th AVN
95-26643 1-135th AVN
96-26683 3-158th AVN

Have they been transferred to the 12th or are they a part of the program? Hmm

More than likely they are 12Th AVN since they do fly VIPS around Dc area,thus PAT (Priority Air Transport),as is with the other PAT aircraft,the UH-60s are used around the entire DC area From Pentagon to Fort Belvoir,etc..

All 3 of the above are 1-135th AVN. They are TDY in the area for several months supporting the 12th.
