My son is a recently retired Night Stalker; I have followed him all over the World, and I have attended his graduation and retirement. I have had the honor of visiting the Unit, 160th Regiment, at Ft. Campbell, Ky. I, to this day, am stunned at what he has done and become. The proud feeling in my heart and soul is immense for my son. He served 22 years as An MH-60K Blackhawk Pilot, 13 tours to the Sand Pit and about. I am sure some of you Nightstalkers here know him very well. I will abstain from noting his name. Incredible Aviators, one and all, Support Team as well.

The first time I saw a Blackhawk helicopter, was when three of them landed in the ball fields in front of our barracks in Gelnhausen Germany, like ~1986. I was a tanker, but after I saw those helicopters land and take off, I desperately wanted to be a pilot. They are amazing.

Growing up in the early & mid 2000's my stepdad had a buddy that use to come over and hangout all the time. He was a pilot with the Night Stalkers. I always knew he was a total badass. He would disappear for a couple weeks at a time and then pop back up. Sometimes he'd say stuff like, well looks like I'll be gone for 2 weeks. Me being a little kid I always would ask him stuff and he'd never tell me. But he'd always say stuff like, where I'm going it's gonna be hot with allot of sand. Wish I could track him back down and talk to him some more.

It's safe to say most of them fly/drive helicopters better than all of us just driving our cars. The armed variant aka "DAP" variant is something I would love to see more about but the information and videos available are extremely limited and very basic or general. I'm extremely surprised more isn't known by now about them or the stealth variant given the amount of time they've been around or the amount of media attention they've gotten, respectively.

[@evanmonast5522]

It’s not safe to say that lol

All 160th birds are armed. The DAP is just a specialized black hawk outfitted to fill a dedicated gunship role similar to an apache, exclusively used by the 160th. It's a regular MH-60L outfitted with additional weapon systems

For a nice fictional series about the Night Stalker’s check out the books written by M. L. Buchman. The first is titled “The Night is Mine” and there are seven in the series. He has several different series featuring these pilots and other military personnel involved in covert ops. He has a series about an autistic NTSB investigator who is called in on military crashes involving a variety of military aircraft. The first in that series is “Drone”. There is another about the Chinook. I’ve really enjoyed that series.

Many packages were dropped off in places with names like Korat, Ubon, U-Tapao, and Don Muang, and Udorn. Yes there were lots of fixed wings there and quite a few rotor wings as well. We had a butter bar who would meet the choppers in coming with bottles of cognac that’s where I got my taste for Courvoisier. Dude may have been a coward in the rear with the gear but he had good taste.

The only 160th casualties in 2020 resulted from a crash in California. Either its one of the 2 that died or youre lying.

They say that beginning part about every single combat roll and even the mecanics 😂

[@noahmoraes2669]

Nice, but UAS info is outdated. 15W is strictly the shadow drones. 15C are MQ-1C, or Gray Eagle, operators. This split was made official about a year ago!

[@chasefleshman4459]

My son is in BCT right now then AIT as a 15C. He wants to apply for 160th SOAR. Can he drop a packet in AIT? Thanks in advance.

How often they deploy?

[@leatherguru8904]

I find it amusing how many units used the "nightstalker" moniker. Lol, and everyone would tell you they were the original badass.

The only pilots that I’ve ever seen that came from regiment were always at least a CW3/O-4 or higher . Always some officer in their early/mid-thirties who look about 50 to 60 years old with some dope ass stories
