Always loved the profile of the UH-60 series.
michael yon whos been doing most of the reporting and shit on this and was there when chazray clark died, filming and taking pictures as an embed, posted on his blog that a high up officer said that we are violating the geneva convention ourselves, because the medevacs aren't taking routes previously agreed on by both sides.

assuming FP can't read, the reason medevacs can take a long time is because unless its an armed airforce pedro, it has to wait for an escort aircraft / chopper which like when clark died, can take almost an hour or more
[QUOTE=TheTalon;34716068]I don't see why this is a problem at all? The UH-60's can carry around 9,000 pounds and fly just fine. They can also carry about 13 guys with full combat loads. So why would arming the couple of crew members be a hassle[/QUOTE]
no gun ports
decreases high altitude performance
