The Black Hawk is the Army’s front-line utility helicopter used for air assault, air cavalry, and aeromedical evacuation units. It is designed to carry 11 combat-loaded, air assault troops, and it is capable of moving a 105-millimeter howitzer and 30 rounds of ammunition. First deployed in 1978, the Black Hawk’s advanced technology makes it easy to maintain in the field. The Black Hawk has performed admirably in a variety of missions, including air assault, air cavalry and aeromedical evacuations. In addition, modified Black Hawks operate as command and control, electronic warfare, and special operations platforms.

KC-130H Hercules:
Refueling variation of the aircraft. Unlike the AC-130 and MC-130, it does not
carry any additional sensor systems and has the cargo bay converted into
carrying extra fuel. This aircraft is very useful if operating a lrgae number of
aircraft that require fuel. It should be considered identical to the standard
C-130 with the exception of the following areas:
Crew: Five
Black Market Cost: 3.8 million credits
Range: 5,750 miles (5000 km / 5,000 nautical miles). Refueling aircraft will
reduce the aircrafts range
Special Equipment:
Refueling Tanks: The aircraft carries fuel to refuel other aircraft. Can refuel
approximately 12 light fighters (Like the F-16), 6 medium fighters (Like the
F-15), or 4 heavy fighters (Like the F-111). Does not carry enough fuel to
refuel heavy bombers. The KC-130 may use all of its fuel for itself.
