The last operational HH-60G Pave Hawk completes a final flight before retiring, following decades of service. The aircraft flies once more as part of a divestment ceremony earlier this month, signaling the end of the type’s operational use.
Both outlets describe the same sequence of events: the final sortie occurs prior to retirement, and the retirement is tied to divestment actions rather than an isolated decommissioning moment. While the accounts provide limited additional detail, they agree on the overarching timeline—final flight first, then retirement—and on the ceremonial context used to mark the aircraft’s departure from service. Neither source indicates an interruption to the final flight plan or offers differing conclusions about why the aircraft is being retired.
