"With the third-largest fleet of Black
Hawk helicopters in the world, Colombia is an anchor customer in
Latin America. Our in-country line maintenance support will enhance
the operational readiness of the Colombian Armed Services," said
David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace Services on Wednesday.
"The SAS maintenance team, along with the development of an S-70
Black Hawk Helicopter Training Facility at the Colombian Air Force
Base in Melgar, represents our significant commitment to customers
in the region. We look forward to broadening SAS support to other
military markets in Latin America."

Requisite maintenance services for the fleet will be executed by
the Sikorsky Team whose OEM expertise will assure that operational
readiness is a top priority. The technical and tactical
characteristics of the UH-60L fleet provide the mobility and
penetration required by the Colombian Army to successfully execute
a variety of dynamic missions. The Colombian Army Aviation - part
of the Army's Combined Arms Team - has acquired Scheduled and
Unscheduled Maintenance Services for its fleet of UH-60 helicopters
to ensure sustained support for operations mandated by the
Colombian Army. In pursuit of national order and security, the
UH-60L fleet carries out aerial support on air assault,
reconnaissance, supply and other undertakings.
