Lockheed-Martin proposal to replace the
UH-1N Huey USAF fleet. First 4 get from the US Army
UH-60M Black Hawk production line and converted at the USAF Air Force Test Center (AFTC) in 2011.
The USAF selected the
HH-60W in 2013 to replace the
HH-60G Pave Hawk so savings through commonality is expected if selected.
Main contender in the
replacement program was the
Boeing/Leonardo MH-139 which was the one chosen by the USAF in September 2018. The HH-60U fleet future is uncertain but most probably they will join the HH-60W once the HH-60G retirement is complete.
As of 2019, assigned to
Nellis AFB nicknamed
Ghost Hawk
