Arsenal: HH-60G Pave Hawk in Combat Search and Rescue, Global War on Terror
Arsenal: HH-60G Pave Hawk in Combat Search and Rescue, Global War on Terror follows the United States Air Force’s dedicated rescue helicopter from dusty Afghan valleys to sandstorm emergencies over Iraq and beyond. Listeners hear the Pave Hawk in action on real-world missions, the hard problems of range, survivability, and navigation it was built to solve, and how its specialized design, crews, and pararescue teams work together under fire. The episode walks through its development from Black Hawk derivative to combat rescue workhorse, its strengths and limits in modern wars, and the legacy it leaves as newer helicopters arrive. Arsenal is the Friday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and this podcast is developed by Trackpads.com.
