End of an Era: HH-60G Pave Hawk leaves legacy of valor and service
A 920th Rescue Wing HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter takes off during exercise Distant Horizon at Bradshaw Army Airfield, Hawaii, Aug. 10, 2022. The Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk is a four-blade, twin-engine helicopter derived from the U.S. Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk and modified for CSAR operations. It was designed to locate and recover isolated personnel in austere or hostile environments, day or night and in all weather conditions. The aircraft is equipped with an in-flight refueling probe, advanced avionics, radar and infrared systems, and a crew-served weapons package that allows it to operate while protecting aircrew and rescued personnel.
