[QUOTE="richardhead84, post: 696178, member: 6480"] "Ozzie 76" UH-60L Tail Number 9326517 Went down inserting some navy seals 21 SEP 2010. I lost five of my brothers that day LTC Robert Baldwin, CW3 Matthew Wagstaff, CW2 Jonah McClellan, SSG Josh Powell, SGT Marvin Calhoun. I wasn't on this mission but new something was up when the company was called in to the CP and my Platoon Sergeant asked me and my good friend to close out the log books for the other aircraft. We immediately noticed that "517's" book wasnt part of the pile to close out. We hoped for the best and when the commander finally came in he announced that Ozzie 76 had gone down and all were lost. It was hard to hear. One thing that sticks out in my mind today is we were trying to identify whose bags were whose (they were left behind at another base while they went off to do the mission) and I remember unzipping a bag to try and find a name, It was LTC Baldwins bag and his towel was still wet... for some reason that has stuck with me. Later that day we loaded our brothers in their flag draped coffins on to the C-17 for their last flight home. Some of the best aviators I had the privilege to crew with were lost that day. [/QUOTE]
