U.S. Army National Guard flight crews complete a flyover rehearsal with their counterparts from the U.S. Navy Aug. 16, 2024, at Chambers Field in Norfolk, Virginia. Together, two Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters flew alongside two Navy SH-60 Seahawk helicopters at the funeral of Vietnam veteran and naval aviator, Capt. Allen Weseleskey. During the Vietnam War, he was assigned to the Helicopter Light Attack Squadron 3, or HAL-3, nicknamed the Seawolves, a quick reaction, armed helicopter squadron. There, Weseleskey flew more than 450 combat missions, earning numerous awards including two Distinguished Flying Crosses, a Bronze Star Medal for Valor from the U.S. Army and a Navy and Marine Corps Medal.
