This Marine Corps CH-46E helicopter was the aircraft that lifted the US Ambassador at the time, Graham Martin, from the roof of the US Embassy during the Fall of Saigon in April of 1975 while with HMM-165. In 2006 it still displayed the color scheme of the Vietnam era but flew for HMM-774 based out of NAS Norfolk in Virginia. Today it is on display at the "Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum" at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, San Diego, California.
