U.S. Air Force HH-60G Pave Hawk

Operation Southern Watch, 27 November 2001 — An HH-60G Pave Hawk flies through the sky after refueling from an HC-130P Combat Shadow during a training mission at an operating location in support of Operation Southern Watch. The primary mission of the HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter is to conduct day or night operations into hostile environments to recover downed aircrew or other isolated personnel during war. Because of its versatility, the HH-60G is also tasked to perform in military operations other than war. These tasks include civil search and rescue, emergency aero medical evacuation (MEDEVAC), disaster relief, international aid, counter-drug activities and NASA space shuttle support.
