stract Posted Saturday at 03:07 AM Posted Saturday at 03:07 AM Does anyone have vis on the schedule for HH-60G retirements? Curious when/where the last one will be.
M2 Posted Saturday at 09:11 PM Posted Saturday at 09:11 PM The final HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter in the entire U.S. Air Force was retired on December 18, 2024, by the 56th Rescue Squadron at Aviano Air Base in Italy. This marked the end of an era for the Pave Hawk, which had been a crucial part of combat search and rescue missions for decades. https://www.stripes.com/branches/air_force/2024-12-20/air-force-pavehawk-aviano-helicopter-16227298.html Prior to that... The last HH-60G Pave Hawk at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico was also retired in early December 2024. This helicopter had been in service for 34 years and participated in various search and rescue missions. The 106th Rescue Wing at Gabreski Air National Guard Base in New York retired its first HH-60G in June and finished its conversion by October. And Kadena Air Base in Japan welcomed its first HH-60W in January and retired its last G model by August. The 41st Rescue Squadron at Moody Air Force Base in Georgia retired its final HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter, tail number 356, on September 29, 2021. This helicopter had served for nearly 30 years and participated in numerous rescue missions around the world. Thirty-seven Golfs were heading (STS) to the Boneyard in fiscal 2024, and another twelve going in fiscal 2025.
