The crew of a CH-53K King Stallion from Marine Operational Test and Evaluation Squadron (VMX)-1 were recently recognized for heroic efforts identifying an injured motorcyclist while on a training flight and providing medical evacuation back to Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona. “The CH-53K’s fly-by-wire system made it easier to get down quickly and safely in a tight landing zone,” said Major Dale Metcalf, CH-53K pilot. “We train for scenarios like this, and everyone in the crew knows their role to execute the rescue efficiently.”

California's best can count on the best. Born a Black Hawk, the FIREHAWK Helicopter relies on its proven military design to endure the unrelenting physical stresses demanded of the aerial firefighting and utility missions. #VERTICON2025

What's a Rotor Blown Wing? Our next-gen autonomous aircraft that can take off and land like a helicopter and cruise like an airplane. With the flexibility to take off from anywhere, and the range to go farther and faster, RBW can perform a variety of missions, from search and rescue, firefighting, humanitarian response and infrastructure monitoring. #VERTICON2025

The 129th Rescue Wing of the Air National Guard begins their transition to the HH-60W Jolly Green II Combat Rescue Helicopter. Building on the state-of-the-art UH-60M Black Hawk, the HH-60W adds capability advancements to better support the full range of combat rescue and other special missions. #AFAColorado

An Alaska Army National Guard Black Hawk helicopter approaches the Herbert Glacier riverbed while conducting flight operations near Juneau, Alaska. The rugged, versatile Black Hawk and its family of variants are trusted around the world for critical missions from air assault to emergency response.

The Advanced Military Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Center (AMMROC) is now the first Black Hawk blade maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) center outside America. This certification authorizes AMMROC to perform maintenance and repair on Black Hawk main and tail rotor blades at their facility in the UAE.

We have light off! For the first time, a UH-60M Black Hawk conducted ground runs equipped with two GE T901 Improved Turbine Engines. These engines increase the Black Hawk’s combat capabilities with: ?More Power ?More Range and Loiter Times ?Greater Lift Capability ?Reduced Fuel Consumption The initial light off and ground runs were executed by a combined Army and industry test team and operated by U.S. Army and Sikorsky pilots.

We recently delivered 10 S-70i? Black Hawk??helicopters to the Philippine Department of National Defense, as part of a contract for 32 Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopters under the DND’s Additional Utility Helicopters Acquisition Project. The S-70 Black Hawk and the UH-60M Black Hawk share the same rugged, reliable, multi-mission capabilities. Signed in 2022, the current contract states that the Philippine Air Force will take delivery of 32 aircraft from Lockheed Martin subsidiary PZL Mielec. This will expand the PAF’s current fleet of 15 S-70i Black Hawk helicopters to 47, enhancing their operational capacity. The first five aircraft under this contract were delivered in June 2024; and another five were delivered in December 2024. The remaining aircraft will be delivered over the next two years.
