Flown by LTC Shiloh Briggs (20 years of service) and CPT Joe Gentry (14 years of service) the UH-60L Blackhawk lands on the FC field in honor of Veterans Day, Nov. 9.
First landing at 8:45 am, K-12th grade students observed and interact with the aircraft while getting to know the pilots for two hours.
The UH-60L Blackhawk, UH (standing for utility helicopter), was built in 2000. This specific aircraft’s facility most recently assisted in the wildfires in California but is equipped to perform missions for flood, fire and earthquakes.
