Midweek Sortie 29: Black Hawk, America’s Battlefield Lifeline
Born from Vietnam’s hard lessons, the UH-60 Black Hawk became America’s flying lifeline — carrying troops, medics, and supplies, and helping ensure survival on the modern battlefield.
“In the first nine months of being a deployed medevac pilot, my crew had done 189 urgent calls and transferred over 400 patients.”
—Chief Warrant Officer Anthony Potter, UH-60 Black Hawk instructor pilot/medevac pilot
