From another group:
helicopter Hotel Whisky Zero Six Five on 134.35 (up on freq at 1543E) flew Route 4, Route 1 NB to Route 3 Clockwise. Once they reached Greenbelt they were requested to call the NCRCC when they land and ask for Terry. After exiting DC airspace, they headed "South East towards Chesapeake." They switched to Potomac 132.775.

Any idea on the aircraft type/operator? I'm thinking Seahawk from Pax River?

HW comes back to MH-60S HSC-26 "Chargers" out of Norfolk NAS.
There is a pic of "65" as you scroll down with HW tail #167866?

I generally take news articles referencing "internal discussions" with a grain of salt, but thought I would send this because of it's significance to this group:

U.S. weighs sending top-level official to meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv

U.S. weighs sending top-level official to meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv

The U.S. official, which will most likely be a Cabinet member, will follow European leaders who have already made the symbolic visit.
