You need some corrections

1) It was actually on the Hogsback

2) The snow was soft that day, and yes, the crew members were pushed into the snow when the helicopter rolled over them, saving their lives.

I doubt you've boarded or skied it many times if you don't even know the location. You "watched it live" probably on tv, I watched it live as a rescuer on scene.

Wow. This happen 10 years ago! It felt like it just happen last week. I remember when this show on my local news station here in Phoenix, AZ.

3 deaths. Not from the chopper though. From what it was coming to rescue.

[901MovieMaker]

I was just trying to clear up the air force-army, pave-black debacle. Good to see a pro in here. Are you a crew chief or FE for paves?? Where are you stationed?

[MUSTANG408W]

You're half correct. The Pave used to be an Army UH-60L before the were procured from the Army and then modified. The are the same helicopter. They aren't "souped up." In fact they are heavier with the internal 185gallon tanks, refueling system, and a crapload of additional communications equipment. I work on Paves.

[MUSTANG408W]

Many Army UH-60L models have the same folding stabilator as the Pave Hawk. The Army's 160th SOAR unit has the only Black Hawks with refueling probes, so, in that they still retain the name.

[VigilanteSEVEN]

I just found out that this same aircraft, after crashing and rolling down a mountain with the crew alive and uninjured, was shot down in Afghanistan a year and a half ago, killing five of the seven crew aboard.

[LupusAries]

That's exaclty what I meant. Helicopters are pretty durable. I was more talking about those always overdramatic TV commentators. I hope the crew was not to badly injured.
