Rotorboy2 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I'm surprised that, given the details of the area and the weather at that point in time, that operations were continued. Blackhawks are IFR equipped usually, right? I can only gather that they were trying to fly VFR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungstart Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I don't know much about NVG's but I would assume that they would be used in the dark. The Blackhawk went down at 7:00 am according to the link above. I have tried on a pair once when there was a couple of Griffons parked out on the ramp beside the hanger. They made a starlight only night seem like a overcast day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
