U.S. Army Warrant Officer 1 Michael J. Sprague, a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot assigned to Bravo Company, 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment, 1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, inspects the tail rotor drive shaft of a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter ahead of an aerial gunnery qualification at Lielvārde Air Base, Latvia, July 14, 2026. The drive shaft runs along the tail boom to turn the tail rotor, one of the components crews check during the preflight inspection before flying the qualification, a graded live-fire exercise in which aircrews engage ground targets from the air.
