An Illinois Army National Guard UH-72 Lakota and UH-60 Blackhawk kick up snow while landing at the Guard's Army Aviation Support Facility Kankakee, Ill., Dec. 14 in preparation for the Chicago Bears flyover later that day. The helicopters approach the landing area slowly acting like giant snowblowers before landing. A diamond formation of Illinois Army National Guard helicopters performed a flyover over Soldier Field in Chicago on Dec. 14 just before the Chicago Bears' 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The formation included a UH-47 Chinook, two UH-60 Blackhawks, and a UH-72 Lakota from Peoria, Kankakee and Decatur. These aerial demonstrations of patriotism and power also have military training value. These "time on target" missions include careful planning, close coordination, great precision, as well as effective communication between aircraft and with the ground. They help our Soldiers prepare for their military missions.
