HH-60W arrives at Eglin

摘要

AN INITIAL HH-60W combat rescue helicopter for the USAF arrived at Duke Field, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, on November 6. The first of two new aircraft will be used for developmental work with the 413th Flight Test Squadron, part of the 96th Test Wing. The second HH-60 arrived the following day. Since the HH-60W's experimental flight clearance does not yet allow instrument flight or the use of its transponder, the aircrew flew the 5hr ferry flights from the Sikorsky Developmental Flight Center under visual flight rules.
