US cab attempts a landing on presumably a frigate. Not much space to land a cab of that size!

    I think that is an RAF logo, the pixelation on a small camera w/ digital zoom makes the red inner circle unseen and distorts the outline of the star, I do not think the USMC (that's who flys the sea knight) still uses the star emblem, I know the RAF still uses theirs.

    I believe the ship was American and I don't doubt that it was carrying U.S. Marines but it looks like an RAF emblem below the starboard side avenger mini-gun mount. I also read on another site it was an RAF helicopter. Not hat it matters whose it was, poor guys.

  • Sorry to disagree ...

    Sorry to disagree Reeman, but there are numerous sources on the net showing it to be an American helicopter, crew, and ship. From what I read in the CNN article there were Marines aboard the helicopter, and most of them died.

    No, it is definitely a British helo, the US only uses Ch-4[B]6[/B]'s for the USMC. that was a British RAF helicopter attempting a landing on what may have been a US ship.

    It's a British one. They accidently landed one of the landing gears on the little metal piece and the metal piece dragged the helicopter down. They came in too fast.

  • I don't know. ...

    I don't know. Looks like a US marking on the low side of the fuselage on the starbord side of the helicopter. Circle with a star in it, similar to what you see on most US aircraft. Do the Brits have the same marking?
