Although it's early on and these communications are often chaotic/inaccurate.
- twoparachute45 2y agoI thought it was a VH-60 given that it was callsign PAT25 (PAT is Priority Air Transport and they use the VH-60 for those flights), but if this was a training flight, they may have still used the PAT callsign while flying a UH-60.
- alistairSH 2y agoBoth are "Black Hawk" airframes, right? The VH-60 variant is just a UH-60 that was build/configured for VIP transport vs the normal UH-60 utility variant. IE, other than paint, they look the same to a casual observer.
