Staff from the Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) North Island in Coronado accepted a stricken MH-60S helicopter from the Helicopter Sea Combat Wing at Naval Air Station North Island earlier this month.
The aircraft, which has been declared to never fly again, will be used as a full-scale instructional platform to support aviation maintenance training across multiple ratings and pipelines.
“This new addition to our training systems demonstrates our ongoing commitment to excellence in aviation training and ensures that our sailors and marines are equipped with the skills they need to perform at the highest level when they return to the fleet,” Cmdr. Robert Kersey, CNATTU North Island commanding officer, said.
