The army first received the HH-60M MEDEVAC variant in 2012.
It's operated by a four-person crew: pilot, co-pilot, flight medic, and crew chief.
It has a top speed of nearly 88mph.
And a maximum range of 275 nautical miles.
Captain Shaeffer, who gave us a tour of the chopper, then showed us the Talon thermal imaging system mounted under the nose.
The Thalon is used for "surveillance, reconnaissance, target acquisition and tracking, force protection, and search-and-rescue (SAR) operations," according to army-technology.com.
The external rescue hoist can hold up to 9,000 pounds.
Here's a shot of the cockpit, with the four multi-purpose displays along the dash.
The MEDEVAC Black Hawk can carry six patients, and hold up to 11 troops.
And is fully equipped with a trauma kit.
We also got to check out an older Black Hawk version, which is used as a command and control center, seen in this short video below:
Shaeffer then let us climb on top of the Black Hawk.
Here's a top shot of the rotor system.
And one of the General Electric T700-GE-701E engines.
Check out a side view of the engine.
