Do navy HH-60H Seahawks/ Rescue Hawk remove their cockpit doors like the Air Force Pave Hawks or Army Black Hawks do?
I have seen Pictures of them with the doors removed and I didn’t know if this was something they did operationally or for some special reason
Yes, if in a hot, arid environment, they have been known to fly with the pilots’ doors removed.
It started in 2009 with removing the doors in Iraq when I flew them…now it is standard for to fly without them and also helps with visibility during brownout landings.
