U.S. Army 1st Lt. Martha Hugo, a 1-228 Aviation Regiment Alpha Company pilot, flies one of the two Utility Helicopter-60 Blackhawks from Soto Cano Air Base, Honduras, to the Island of Utila in order to comply with her training scenario June 11, 2012. During the mission the pilots had to rely on their instruments and training as they fly through mountains and over the Caribbean Sea.

During a training exercise June 11, members of 1-228 Aviation Battalion, here, fly an Utility Helicopter-60 (UH-60) over the Caribbean Sea to the island of Roatán. Training exercise such as these provides the pilots the expertise to navigate over water and provide search and rescue capabilities. (Stock photo released by U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt.
