    I'm a crew chief on the HH-60G Pavehawk and what Capt. White explains is detailed to perfection. This was a super accurate and detailed walk around and goes to show how knowledgeable he is as a pilot. I love this bird and I learn something new every time I work on it. Super exciting job and one of the best in the USAF!

    I retired out of Moody AFB as an HH-60G Pavehawk Aerial Gunner (SMA) Instructor and evaluator in 2014 and was extremely impressed by the Capt White's ability to fully and thoroughly explain the Pavehawk mission and the helicopter's various components and weapons systems. Actually, he is the first pilot that seemed to have detailed knowledge of the weapons systems. And yes, when he mentioned the aircraft side position lights were previously removed (about 15 years ago) that was true and was due to "blooming" out of our night vision goggles (NVG's) at night. We would use duct tape and wrap all around the light except a small portion which allowed us to see without being blinded by the blooming of the side position light(s). It was much worse on the left side than the right side due to the color of the lens lighting. I was impressed Capt White knew of the history of the light and the reason for the modification! I miss my old office every day and the many rescues we performed on that very aircraft while deployed overseas. Great job and explanation by Capt. White! Great to see the 41'st RQS is still prepared and in the fight!

    Overhauled many Black hawks and Pave hawks years ago. Takes many hours to get them back to be serviceable. I always did everything I could to make sure everything worked perfectly as I knew they were headed for combat. One of the last things I did when I was alone was to carry a small bottle of holy water, and said a prayer for the safety of those who would fly her.

Our guys up at the Alaska Guard unit definitely get the most real world rescue calls out of all of us in the Air Force's Pavehawk community, great people and it is awesome that they were able to be there for you in your time of need! Also, saw your video, that was a beautiful plane!

    One of the greatest things about the US military is the competence of the operators. This captain not only flies the aircraft, but he knows every square centimeter of this bird, historical aspects of the equipment, current aspects, and what each and every crew member is responsible for. I’m extremely impressed!! I was lucky enough to spend 10 years in the military, so I know how intense the training is. They only allow the most competent into these kinds of roles and I have the utmost respect for what these guys (and gals) do each and every day to protect our country. Kudos!!

    I am Korean. I rode uh-60p a lot when I was in the army 20 years ago. Sometimes, I've been on the USFK (black/elow camouflage pattern) and I remember skydiving and fast rope a lot. It's still the best helicopter for me. I miss the sound of the rotor. People like you deserve to be respected, just like our slogan "First in Last in Out"! Anyways "Thank u for u're service!!!

    Wow!! I love blackhawk. I have served in Korean Air Force, and I was a mechanic for VH-60. It does not have winch system and it has different style cabin door and VIP seats. I think most mechanics for blackhawks have to have big muscle to charge the apu accumulator with a hand-pump. Thank you for your explaining!!

    My dad, now 98, did all of the preliminary design for the Blackhawk. I remember when he told me about the crashworthy features and the wire cutters. They went over to the lunar landing pad a t NASA and cashed a Huey. He did all the mission design parameters, weights, fluid dynamics. He spent most of the 70's between FT Eustis and Sykorsky in Philly.

The following were there during my time - 91-26356, 91-26357, 91-26358, 91-26359 (RIP), 91-26406 and 91-26407. It's awesome to hear it called the 'heritage bird'.
