REQ: HMX-1 VH-60 codes

Post by EIGJB »

Does anyone know if the VH-60N of US Marine Corps HMX-1 carry codes in addition to their serials?

I took the following photo while on a trip to Washington DC last year and what looks like the number 7 is just behind & below the cockpit door.

That's indeed a "7", just like on this picture on the web:
