This Black Hawk caught fire during pre-flight checks at Fort Wainwright (AK) on 19 April 2008. All four crew members escaped unhurt, but the helicopter was completely destroyed. Here is it seen in better shape when it served a Medical Evacuation unit from Kandahar. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
