Good to see the boys dong a bit of SAR work, it was in the original spec for the Blackhawk but the Army rarely use it, the RAAF ordered the machines with an external hoist for SAR/Combat SAR but its not a primary role for the Army.
Good to also see George Shepard in the photo was at 9 sqn and 5 avn with George in the early days of the Blackhawk, George is old school was originaly RAAF on Neptunes (yes the 70's!) then went Army then over to the RAN on Seahawks with a Bit of Blackhawk thown in , didn't know he was still in!
