Edwards AFB Air Show 2005 - static displays / DK22_137 10/22-23/2005

This is a JUH-1H with the "J" identifier meaning that the aircraft has been visually modified.
There are only 5 of this type of helicopter in the world. All 5 are based at Barstow Daggett
airport in Southern California and are assigned to the National Training Center Aviation
Company (Air Assault). They fly in support of the Opposing Forces (OPFOR) at Fort Irwin,
California where they represent a generic Foreign Attack Helicopter. They are equipped
with the US Army's Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) which is not unlike
a huge game of lasertag. The pilots and crews for these aircraft are among
the best the Army has to offer and are hand selected to fly this special mission.
