Why Black Hawks will be flying over Hays, Arkansas City
WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Some Kansans will see Black Hawk helicopters flying over their towns starting this week. The Kansas Army National Guard will conduct Black Hawk flights this Wednesday in Hays and around Cowley College in Arkansas City in two weeks.
The Kansas Army National Guard says the flights will be conducted safely and with minimal disruption.
The flights will train crews for disaster responses, search and rescues, and tactical operations. The crews will also get more experience in navigation, coordination and emergency preparedness.
'We are committed to maintaining the highest level of readiness while also fostering strong relationships with the communities we serve,' Major David Atkins, Kansas Army National Guard, said.
