How about where troops are pinned down in an extremely hot firefight and running low on ammo. The commanders aren't going to risk letting a human piloted black hawk land because it's just too damn risky, but a drone might get the go ahead.
It also makes sense from a purely rational point of view because the major costs of that capability are pilot training (millions) and maintenance. It doesn't hurt nearly as much to lose a chopper when you don't lose those millions spent in pilot training along with it, so you can take much greater risks with it
