Spate of Black Hawk crew deaths prompts questions for Pentagon

CW2 (Join to see) she has proved to be a very reliable and resilient helicopter. 40 years of service and going!

I agree with you! I was just flashing back to the original response after several crashes when the UH-60 was first introduced! I've flown the simulator both visual and instrument numerous times, but never the actual aircraft.

CW2 (Join to see) she has come a long way since the initial stabilator issues. The installation of a switch makes a world of difference. Been flying her for 17 years and obviously she has never let me down or brought me and my crew home safely. I have the utmost respect for what Sikorsky have us. I have flown every Army model from A to M. It has been an utmost pleasure to pilot this machine. I am sure you feel the same about the beautiful Cobra you are standing in front of! Safe skies my friend!

Safe skies to you also Brother!
