First Afghan UH-60 pilots graduate

Afghan Air Force pilots wear Black Hawk pendants given by instructors signifying their completion of UH-60 Black Hawk training at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, Nov. 20, 2017. The pilots are the first six to become AAF UH-60 pilots. The pilots have prior experience in the Mi-17 Hip. The transition of airframe for the AAF pilots will provide firepower and mobility, significant offensive factors enabling the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces to break the stalemate with insurgents.
