Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

The post gives a detailed breakdown of avionics and there are some surprises. I wonder if the Garmin GTN 750 was retrofitted recently or was it in service in this configuration?

I would guess retrofitted. These aircraft will occasionally come through where I work for gas and I've poked my head in a couple of them. I usually see some sort of x30 unit, but I'd imagine when a country is ordering something, they're asking for increased sustainability, which means going to a GTN.
 
Not news, just an inquiry.

A couple H-60's have been supporting golf outings this past week, flying several trips between LaGuardia and the Bayonne Golf Club. This evening they flew from LaGuadia to NAS Norfolk. I followed their 500' flight on ADSB Exchange, after they flew over my house and got my attention.

Any idea which squadron supports these missions, and who might have been their VIP Pax(s)?

Do you have a callsign or tail number?

I wish I did. No, they went over at 500' in the dark. And adsbexchange.com only lists a number for military aircraft that does not align with a BuNo or call sign.
Was hoping someone had knowledge of the unit missions at Chambers. Especially in light of the fact that there are several helicopter units in the greater NY/NJ area that could have supported this, depending who the golfers were, rather than send two aircraft 250 miles away for a week TDA.

My first thought was that it was the 12th Aviation Bn (Army VIP flight) but they are out of Fort Belvoir and heading down to Norfolk wouldn’t make sense. This site isn’t perfect, but here are all the reported USN -60 flights on that day. Play around with the times you know and see what you can find.

Griz, Thanks, another site to add to my daily perusal. Interesting that is didn't show any H-60s in NJ over the past week. I'll try other services, etc. Maybe Govt, but not Mil?
 
I was able to locate the flight from yesterday in ADSB Exchange, it showed a registration number for the H-60 as 167821.
