End of an Era: HH-60G Pave Hawk leaves legacy of valor and service

A 301st Rescue Squadron HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter is being prepared for its final flight from Patrick Space Force Base, Florida to the boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona on Sep. 5, 2025. A very distinctive feature of many HH-60G Pave Hawks over the years has been the painted mustache on the aircraft’s nose. The tradition dates back to the Vietnam-era HH-3E Jolly Green Giant, when crews added nose art mustaches as a mark of identity and esprit de corps. The practice was carried into the Pave Hawks where the mustache became an identifiable symbol of combat rescue heritage and a tribute to the Airmen who flew before them.
