Standing Ready: How Centerpointe Answered the Call for Helicopter Transportation

At Centerpointe Aerospace Transportation, professionalism, safety, and readiness are at the core of everything we do. Recently, our team had the honor of demonstrating those values when we were called upon to support the offload and ground transportation of two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters arriving on a C-17 from Egypt. These aircraft were bound for auction through the U.S. Army’s Black Hawk Exchange and Sales Transaction (BEST) program—making precision and care even more essential.

Always Ready, Day or Night

When the mission came through, there was no hesitation. Our team was mobilized immediately—prepared to respond no matter the hour. This level of readiness is not by chance; it comes from meticulous training, experience, and a company culture built on preparedness. Aerospace operations don’t keep office hours, and neither do we.

Professionalism in Action

Offloading and transporting military helicopters is not a task for the unprepared. Every movement requires precision, discipline, and seamless communication. From coordinating with the C-17 crew to ensuring the secure offload of the UH-60s, our specialists executed every step with professionalism. Each team member knew their role, and together we performed like clockwork.

Safety Above All in Helicopter Transportation

The handling of military aircraft demands an uncompromising commitment to safety. At Centerpointe Aerospace Transportation, we treat every asset as mission-critical, and safety is our highest priority—for the equipment, for our personnel, and for our partners. During this operation, strict adherence to protocols ensured that both helicopters were offloaded and transported without incident.

We were proud to support this mission by ensuring the helicopters were handled with the care and precision they deserve.
