Formerly unidentified CH-53

Obviously a really bad photo. A couple of these flew just south of DVT way up high  at 10 this morning headed ESE. I was just wondering if anybody can identify it. I know it's a CH-53, but it looks like it might have HH on the tail and the only unit I can find that has that ID is a C-17 wing at Hickham Field in Hawaii.

HMH-366 Hammerheads out of Cherry Point.

Thanks, Joe. I think there was a big exercise at Twentynine Palms recently. I wonder if they were headed home from there.

Yeah, there was a Mojave Viper exercise that just wrapped up, and prior to that there were quite a few Hammerheads' -53s participating in WTI.
