These heart-pounding scenarios take full advantage of FSX's mission building capabilities. You'll be flying the "hawk" set of helicopters - Black Hawk, Sea Hawk, Pave Hawk and Jay Hawk.
Black Hawk gives you the chance to fly 9 different variants of the Black Hawk helicopter. Each aircraft includes a detailed virtual cockpit and authentic Black Hawk sound FX. All five branches of the United States military use the Black Hawk so this package includes the Coast Guard (Jay Hawk), Air Force (Pave Hawk & Night Hawk) and Navy (Sea Hawk) versions.

Originally developed to replace the UH-1 Iroquois in 1972 for the US Army, it can perform a wide array of missions including tactical support of troops, electronic warfare and aero medical evacuation. Several VH-60N Black Hawks, known as Marine One, are even used to transport the President of the United States. During air assault operations, the Black Hawk can move a squad of 11 combat troops with equipment or carry 2,600 lb of cargo or sling a 9,000 lb load of cargo. The Black Hawk is also equipped with advanced avionics and electronics for increased survivability and capability.
