This is one of the first transport and utility helicopters of Aegis1. It can deploy troops to areas such as troop rescue, resupply and scavenger missions. The Sikorsky UH-60 is th best utility helicopter in the world. This was the craft used during operation Firestorm in which 40 Blackhawks liberated the remaining soldiers from firebase Dallas while it was being overrun by estimates of 500 thousand pl;us zombies in the downtown Dallas area.

The UH-60A/L is a twin-engine, single rotor helicopter. Primary mission
          capability of the helicopter is air assault and air movement. Secondary missions
          include SASO, CSAR, C2 platform, CASEVAC, and air Volcano (mine setting)
          during day, night, visual, and instrument conditions.

          (2) The aircraft is approximately 65 feet long with, approximately, a 54-foot main
          rotor span.

          (3) Maximum gross weight for the UH-60A is 22,000 pounds. Maximum gross
          weight for the UH-60L is 22,000 pounds. (With an external load exceeding 8,000
          pounds, the maximum gross weight is 23,500 pounds.)

          (4) Maximum airspeed is 193 knots with a normal cruise speed of 130 knots.
          However, the speed for any mission will vary greatly depending on load
          configuration (internal or external), time of day, weather conditions, METT-T, etc.

          (5) The minimum crew for tactical missions is four, two pilots and two crew chiefs. It
          is essential that two crew chiefs be used when conducting air assault, NVG
          operations, and sling loads.

          (6) The aircraft can be operated in light or moderate turbulence.

          (7) The aircraft can be operated in IMC.

     b. Capabilities.

          (1) The UH-60A cargo hook can carry external loads up to 8,000 pounds. The
          UH-60L cargo hook can carry external loads up to 9,000 pounds.

          (2) With seats install, the UH-60A/L can carry up to 11 combat-loaded troops.
          With seats removed, the UH-60A/L can carry up to 16 combat-loaded troops or
          up to 20 troops without full combat load.

          (3) Aircraft internal loads can be up to maximum gross weight, with a limitation of
          aircraft space and loading not to exceed 300 pounds per square foot.

     c. Limitations.

          (1) UH-60A/L endurance is 2.5 hours without external fuel tanks and 5.0 hours with
          external fuel tanks.

          (2) UH-60A/L combat radius is approximately 225 kilometers.

          (3) UH-60A/L combat radius, with external fuel tanks installed, is approximately
          450 kilometers.

          (4) The UH-60A/L shall not be started or shutdown in winds (including gusts) in
          excess of 45 knots.

          (5) UH-60A/L helicopters with the following equipment installed can fly into trace or
          light icing conditions; however, flight into light is not recommended without the blade
          deice kit:

          Windshield anti-ice.
          Pitot heat.
          Engine anti-ice.
          Engine inlet anti-ice modulating valve.
          Insulated ambient air sensor.
