A Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk flies over the Fairhope area JUL 17 2025. Black Hawks are used for a variety of mission roles by the US military, including air assault and emergency response. The twin engine Black Hawk has been called a workhorse for the US Army, moving soldiers, delivering supplies and performing search and rescue missions, including in hostile environments.
