An Air Force HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter will fly over today's noon meal formation and land on the Terrazzo today, at the Air Force Academy.

The noon meal formation will assemble the all 4,000 cadets in 40 squadrons to march to lunch. Today's formation will include a demonstration of airpower, and for some of the newer cadets, their first introduction to this combat rescue helicopter.

After landing, the helicopter will then be on display for the afternoon in the cadet area, allowing cadets and staff to visit the aircraft and talk with the crew about the missions and capabilites of the HH-60G Pave Hawk. The helicopter is part of the 58th Special Operations Wing, from Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M.
