This repaint pack is for the payware Cera Sim UH-60L with the Firehawk mod from here on SOH. This pack represents S-70 and UH-60 Firehawk helicopters newly acquired by various agencies in California. This pack includes Ventura County Sheriff, Cal Fire, San Diego Fire, and Santa Barbara County Fire's aircraft. Blackahawks modified by United Rotorcraft with 1,000 gallon external tanks, extended landing gear, and an assortment of other supporting mods are given the patented name "Firehawk," This is the easiest way to discern a Firehawk from the many other fire fighting Blackhawks. Los Angeles Country Fire was the first agency to receive the Firehawk in the late 1990s, where it has been used to great success. As a result of it's success the retirement of LA County's Bell 412s occurred. LA County now operates 5 Firehawks. Success of the platform has worked it's way through California recently as a push to retire the aging Huey platforms increased. Cal Fire announced it would be replacing it's aging fleet of Vietnam-era Super Huey's with 12 Firehawks. As of the end of 2019, Cal Fire has at least 4 of those 12 aircraft, one completed and the other 3 awaiting their final modifications. San Diego Fire and Ventura County have also received their completed Firehawks. Santa Barbara Country is the last agency to enter into the Firehawk market. Ventura also has a second Firehawk on order. All of the above mentioned aircraft are expected to enter service in 2020. Later packs are expected, so this is named pack 1. Repaints were created in P3D v4.5, and should be compatible with earlier versions of P3D and FSX, but may need file modification to appear properly.
