- Look at all crap bolted to the outside of this gorgeous machine and think about how much that weighs.
- To put it in perspective, think about how much gear they typically carry on missions (a crap ton of medical gear!), and then think about the two .50 CAL's (that aren't pictured here) with a full ammo load-out (typically a little over over 200lbs worth for each one), and THEN think about the number of personnel they compliment for each mission (2-4 personnel not including the pilots OR the patients WITH 30-80lbs of gear on).
- What you end up with is an over-sized flying cinder block that can't go as fast as it's Army UH-60A counterpart and can't even come close to the altitude needed for high mountain rescue missions and high altitude rescue in general (Afghanistan is like, 90% mountains above 5000 feet).
- It goes without saying that even though they have .50 CAL's strapped to their hull they can't conduct MEDEVAC missions nearly as effective as the U.S. Army's counter part, the UH-60A, despite it's ability to protect itself. IT'S JUST NOT QUICK ENOUGH!!! It's just a fact that gravity is a sonofabitch and makes MEDEVAC pilots lives a living hell.
So if any Air Force or Army CAB commanders end up reading this please know that the lighter the aircraft, and the more powerful the engines, the better off your crews, pilots, and helicopters are gonna be.
It's in the evidence.
(Look-up Operation Hammer Down MEDEVAC, Korengal Valley, Afghanistan)
Moral of this rant: The closer you get to bare essentials on a MEDEVAC UH-60 the better it is for the Crew Chiefs, the Patients, the Pilots and the ParaMedics due to it's freed up cabin space.
