20 year of Australian Blackhawk Operations
Next month is the 20th year of Blackhawk operations in Australia, it seems not that long ago I was one of the guys assembling A25-101 at Amberley in the beginning of March 1988 for the first flight on 04 March 1988. A25-101 to 108 were operated by 9 Sqn RAAF until we became A Sqn 5 Avn Regt 12 months later then 109 to 114 and 201 to 225 went straight to the Army. Still my favorite Helicopter!!
Does anyone know if there is a function or pissup organised for Townsville or Oakey to mark the occasion?
The replacement ,the NH90 will be a mistake should have been more UH60-M's ,just my opinion!!!
