The Sikorsky MH-60T Jayhawk is a twin-engine, medium-range, multi-mission helicopter operated by the United States Coast Guard for search and rescue, law enforcement, military readiness, and marine environmental protection missions. Originally designated the HH-60J before being modernized and redesigned in early 2007, the MH-60T is designed to fly with a crew of four up to 483 km offshore, hoist an additional six personnel on board while remaining on scene for up to 45 minutes, and return to base while maintaining an adequate fuel reserve. The MH-60T's normal cruise speed is 250 to 260 km/h (155 to 160 mph), and the aircraft is capable of reaching 333 km/h (205 mph) in short bursts. The MH-60T can fly at 260 km/h (160 mph) for six to seven hours.
Development began in September 1986, with the first flight taking place on August 8, 1989, and the first HH-60J entering Coast Guard service in June 1990. Production ended in 1996, after 42 helicopters had been produced; three retired SH-60F Seahawks were also remanufactured to MH-60T specifications as of early 2010. A total of 42 MH-60Ts are in Coast Guard service.
The HH-60J was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Navy's HH-60H Rescue Hawk. Sikorsky began development in September 1986, and the aircraft, registration number 6001, made its first flight on August 8, 1989. The first aircraft was delivered to the Coast Guard for developmental testing in March 1990 at NAS Patuxent River, Maryland. In March 1991, ATC Mobile, Alabama, became the first Coast Guard unit to fly the HH-60J, allowing instructor pilots to prepare for pilot training. Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was the first operational Coast Guard unit to fly the HH-60J. Sikorsky produced 42 HH-60Js with sequential registration numbers 6001 through 6042. Production ended in 1996 after completing the 42 contracted units. The Coast Guard subsequently converted three ex-Navy SH-60F Seahawks into MH-60T Jayhawks (registration numbers 6043-6045) to replace lost aircraft.
The HH-60J uses a NAVSTAR global positioning system as its primary long-range navigation aid, using a Collins RCVR-3A radio to simultaneously receive information from four of the 18 global NAVSTAR satellites. The helicopter is normally land-based, but can be based on a 270-foot Coast Guard Medium Endurance (WMEC) or a 378-foot Heavy Endurance (WHEC) helicopter.
The Jayhawk has a search/atmospheric radar that gives its nose a distinctive appearance. A FLIR sensor turret can be mounted under the nose. It can carry three 454-liter fuel tanks: two in the port-side cradle and one in the starboard-side cradle. The starboard side also carries a 2.67 kN capacity rescue winch mounted above the door. The winch has 61 m of cable.
A friend of my brother's was rescued in the Bering Strait by a helicopter based in Kodiak, and I'd like to dedicate this to them. Health and glory to all of them; they are one of the most benevolent facets of the human race.
