PHOTOS: Black Hawk helicopter highlights National Night Out at Mt. Carmel

MOUNT CARMEL – It’s a common sight in the skies over the lower anthracite region, but it’s not nearly as common to see landing locally.

Referring to the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, operated by the Pennsylvania National Guard’s Eastern Army National Guard Aviation Training Site based at Fort Indiantown Gap.

One of those quintessential military helicopters landed at a baseball field in Mount Carmel Tuesday as part of the community’s National Night Out festivities.

The chopper took off around 8pm and, to the delight of those on the ground, conducted a flyover as one of the crew members waved at onlookers from the side of the aircraft.
