United States Army S-70/EH/HH/MH/UH-60 Damaged

A Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk assigned to Joint Task Force Bravo was damaged after executing an emergency landing near Soto Cano Air Base in Comayagua Department, Honduras. All five crew members escaped uninjured. Joint Task Force Bravo maintains a standing American aviation presence at Soto Cano supporting humanitarian response, counter-narcotics and disaster relief across Central America, work that routinely takes helicopters into remote mountainous terrain with limited diversion options.
