First HH-60W Arrives at Joint Base Andrews

The first HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopter arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Monday, marking a new chapter for Air Force rotary-wing operations at the base.

The November 2 arrival was marked by a ceremony welcoming the aircraft to America's Airfield.

The Air Force said the HH-60W will strengthen the base's ability to support round-the-clock contingency operations in the National Capital Region. The arrival is part of an upgrade to its rotary-wing capabilities.
