Honoring UH-1 Huey Pilots and "Dustoff" Traditional Geocache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

FrancisScottKey: ### Geocache Owner Action Needed ###

It appears this listing is indicating issues needing addressed by the CO. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.

Please visit the container quickly when any logs indicate there is a problem. If you're unable to visit the geocache promptly, you'll need to disable the listing. I have disabled this listing for you at this time.


What to do next?

  1. Post pertinent information with the 'Write Note' log type asap.
    (If you're encountering unusual circumstances for ongoing issues, post a note every 30 days so the listing doesn't appear abandoned)
  2. Visit the container and provide maintenance as needed.
  3. Update the posted coordinates (if necessary) making sure they are accurate.
  4. Confirm the geocache's trackable inventory.
  5. After the geocache is up to the standard, then post an Owner Maintenance log.
  6. Lastly, enable your geocache.

If you don't want to maintain the geocache any longer, you can

  • Find someone to take ownership of your geocache. You'll need to adopt the listing to them.
  • You can archive the listing. This re opens the area for new geocaches. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your geocache.

If no intervention from the CO is evident within 30 days from today's date, the listing will fall into archival status.

Geocache Description:

Cache is located just off Ocean City Municipal Airport.  Cache is NOT located on the actual airport but right outside on a memorial.  Please respect the area and do not climb on any of the site.


Memorial you will see!

My father and few of the local veterans were brought together in a mission to restore the helicopter you see near the cache.  This helicopter was shipped from Pennsylvania from Indian Point Gap at the National Guard Training Center.  This copter was stripped of most the operational equipment and parts for other helicopters.  The engine however is still present and can be fully utilized however it was decided to leave it present to save time and effort of removing the engine.  It was repainted and placed back together on the Tarmac for about 6 months of work.  The windows were painted a blue tint and the whole helicopter was re-painted for restoration.  Please honor and welcome back a veteran next time you see one.  

Congrats to farmae on FTF!
