Army and Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) posted up this photo on their Facebook pages for a "Photo Friday" feature asking if there were any Black Hawk fans in their audience. After 18,000 plus "Likes", I'd say the venerable UH-60 has a lot of fans, both in and out of the military.
The Black Hawk Utility Helicopter (UH-60), is the Army'€™s current and future force utility and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) helicopter. The UH-60 provides the commander with rapid and agile maneuver capability through air assault, general support, Army Airborne Command and Control System (A2C2S) and MEDEVAC. The UH-60 also gives commanders the ability to initiate, conduct and sustain combat operations by providing the transport of troops and the internal and external lift of equipment. The aircraft provides the interoperability with other Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance elements at all echelons. The UH-60 is also utilized in stability and support operations and is vital to the security needs of our nation. Do we have any Black Hawk fans in our audience? (AMCOM) Aviation and Missile Command
