Title says it all really folks.
Blackwater MD530 and S-92 Jobs (http://www.blackwaterusa.com/employment/contract.asp)
Just out of idle interest, does anyone know what function the S-92 serves?
Regards.

It's the Emir of Kuwait's Flight. They have just received the first of two S-92s. I gather the Kuwait AF will operate them.

Blackwater does a weekly e-mail news letter....one can subscribe to it for free.

Today's issue talks about the loss of the Little Bird a few weeks ago.

All the crewmembers survived the crash but were found still inside the wreckage with head wounds delivered execution style.

The general requirements used to be along the lines of "former military with Spec Ops experience (TF-160), 500 hours NVG, US Citizenship, and service in hostile fire areas, 3000 hours).

There has been quite a bit of turnover due to problematic interpersonal relationships I have heard. Primarily if you ain't an ex-Night Stalker....you ain't **** mentality". That follows the old Air Cav idea.

I use the approach when told that by a Cav pilot...."Thank you....if I ain't **** , I reckon by your logical construct Cav guys are, right?":ugh:
