The name “Jolly Green” has been passed on to the HH-60G Pavehawk helicopter. I fly as a flight engineer on the 60’s, the green feet and the motto are shared throughout the combat search and rescue community.

“That Other may Live” is the “motto” of Pararescue units throughout the U.S. Air Force. The green feet is the symbol for the Sikorsky HH-3E Rescue Helicopter, affectionately known as the “Jolly Green Giant” to it’s crew members. The active Air Force no longer flies them, so this may be a reserve unit.

This is very kewl. The Jolly Green is the nickname of the HH-53 Helicopter that the PJs predominatley use for Search and Rescue.

That, I believe, is actually United States Air Force pararescues. The big green feet a symbol for the “Jolly Greens.” Not sure why they call them Jolly Greens though. Some of the pilots and flight crew have the Green Giant on one of there arm patches. I was stationed at a base that had a rescue squadron of those.

Jack, Those look like covers/roofs under which they park the airplanes. The sun must be pretty brutal there in Kuwait.

There’s a bunch of buildings with spots that look like they’ve been bombed.

Also, are these solar panels? Placemark: Google Maps / Google Earth

Were these two hangers bombed?

It looks like precision bomb craters in their roofs.
