Yes, I know we have the G model. However, the HH-60G is almost fully retired from USAF service. I'm not suggesting we remove the G. Instead, I think we should add the Whiskey conversion to the Black Hawk. No this is not politically driven.
I couldn't find top profile blueprints, would appreciate help on that.
