Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3 HH-60U Rescue Unit

Air Force Flight Test Center, Detachment 3 appears to be one of the main USAF entities at Area 51, Groom Lake, NV, which oversees operations involving other more traditional aircraft and so-called “Foreign Materiel Exploitation,” or FME, examining non-American aircraft and systems at the secretive base, along with its other top-secret flight test duties.

The Ghost Squadron operates Sikorsky HH-60U Ghost Hawk rescue helicopters providing security, local search and rescue, and other types of utility support in and around the base.
