“Did you know? CBP Air and Marine Operations’ Sikorsky UH-60 has a max speed of 172 mph, a range of 600 miles, and can fly for 4.5 hours. It is often used for search and rescue missions due to its large interior space.”
The U.S. Army will transfer three Black Hawk helicopters to the El Paso Air Branch of CBP’s Office of Air and Marine. They will replace older UH-1N Huey helicopters that are being retired and sold. The Army typically uses Black Hawks for medical evacuations and air assault operations.
