Yeah Chuck saw that also yesterday and was wondering why they left mode s and even tail # as RAF type.
Thats why I was hoping for a closer detailed pic to see the writing :)
Seems was originally a Danish chopper order in 2015 then going to RAF who then handed it over to Norway in 2018 but tail is ZZ102/0265.Almost like a joint deal.Sure has CG type Rescue colors.

NASA Artemis 1 press conference is essentially "We don't know anything" and looks like rocket will be
going back to the VAB. Maybe try again in Mid October. Hard to believe an 8 inch quick disconnect valve could be
so problematic.Maybe need to call up some old Apollo engineers and ask them how they did it? LOL

Went up to MTN this morning to grab some photos of the AW101.

Enjoy.

Nice! Can't quite make out 4 digit tail number.It stinks that this board only allows small Res pics.
No doubt a Norway Chopper now...No ZZ102 in sight.
Norwegian translation of Redningstjeneste = "Search and Rescue"
Course now question is.what is it doing here? :)

NOBLE-21,22 headed home A/A 259.00 with ZNY 335.600>290.200>269.100

I think the original picture was perhaps scaled as a smaller size, perhaps by Flickr.

You can certainly post fairly high-resolution pictures here but they are compressed somewhat. Looks like the tail number (on the nose) is 0265 in this picture.

But, is the number covered in FIREBOX 2914's picture taken at MTN?

I'm on vacation in very rural Western Mass... Tonight right around 8:30, while my wife was putting our son to bed, I took my fishing pole and headed down to the dock to get a few more casts in, and while I was reeling in some SAV, I saw intense red lights in the sky headed towards me. Like, a lot of red. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and got a brief video, but the strangest thing happened. As I held my phone up and started to record the two (I'm assuming) fighters, they suddenly broke course and banked to their left, over the forest behind me. I say that it's strange because I've been coming to this lake every summer for 44 plus years, and when there were A-10s stationed at Bradley, a pair would fly over damn near daily, and they always made a direct line over the lake, and they'd dip their wings if you waved from the dock. This occurrence was odd because they were headed due east, but halfway over the lake broke to the north, then once beyond the lake, resumed course due east. I don't want to say it was because my dumb ass was standing on the end of a dock pointing a cellphone at them, but...

And the array of forward-facing red lights was definitely a new experience for me. The video I took did not turn out that great, no surprise, and even with there being some moonlight you cannot make out the shape of the ac, as they were close and low and suddenly changed course. And of course, nothing on ADS-B. Nothing flying over this lake ever has ADS-B, so I don't know if it's a matter of lack of receiver coverage or what.

Any chance your phone uses IR for the auto focus? Maybe their sensors/FLIR/NVG would have picked it up & they thought you were trying to hit 'em w/ a laser? Just guessing here.

So the 4 digit (0265) is blacked out on the tail and nose (look for the big black spots). ZZ102 is just to the right of the roundel on the side.

You can see it better on my website.. 330skv - Final to 33

Its here for software testing in High Hot altitudes... So its heading towards Colorado Monday.
