During 2010   HH-43F  58-1853 was taken inside the restoration hangar and was repainted in camouflage scheme and received serial "81845". 
The work was finished in Oct 2010. That month  "81845" was placed on inside-display as part of the collection dedicated to the Vietnam War. 
According to the Museum it was marked as 81845, an HH-43B assigned to DET.1, 38th ARRS that crashed near Phan Rang AB, Vietnam
on October 10, 1968. All five crewmembers were killed.  The pilot was originally from the state of Georgia.
