A Sikorsky MH-53J Pave Low of the 20th Special Operations Squadron, USAF, serialled 66-14431, and based in Brindisi from 23 March 1999. Wellequippedfor penetration of enemy airspace, MH-53Js – some of which were redeployed to Bosnia and, later on, Hungary – were the principal combat search and rescue asset during Operation Allied Force. Unsurprisingly, they extracted both of the downed US pilots, one on 27 March and the other on 2 May 1999. (Artwork by Luca Canossa)
