Royal Saudi Naval Forces, U.S. Navy exceed 10,000 MH-60R flight hours

 

An MH-60R Seahawk helicopter, assigned to the Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF), fires an AGM-114 Hellfire missile during flight operations near Jubail Naval Air Base, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. PMA-299 joins RSNF in celebrating their steadfast partnership and the achievement of 10,000 flight hours in the MH-60R "Romeo" multi-mission platform. As the primary multi-mission combat and anti-submarine warfare aircraft for the RSNF fleet, the venerable Seahawk variant directly enhances regional maritime security and strengthens international defense cooperation. The milestone follows the global delivery of the 350th MH-60R helicopter. (Photo courtesy of Royal Saudi Naval Forces)
