| Notes |
Shortly before photo was taken, the Blackhawk had an |
| |
in-flight emergency and had to land immediately. The #1 |
| |
engine input module gearbox failed and caused a fire in the |
| |
#1 engine. The aircraft could not be flown and had to be |
| |
airlifted out of the desert. A CH-47 Chinook from Stockton, |
| |
California was summoned to sling load the aircraft and |
| |
transport it to Bike Lake Airfield. Note, all four main |
| |
rotor blades were removed and placed in the cargo bay of the |
| |
Chinook. The helicopter was rebuilt from the airframe 14 |
| |
months later by AVCRAD in Fresno, California. |
