=== H β Search and rescue === These aircraft are used for [[search and rescue]] and [[combat search and rescue]] on land or sea. The HC-130N/P aircraft are being replaced by newer HC-130J models. HH-60W are replacement aircraft for "G" models that have been lost in combat operations or accidents. New HH-60W helicopters are under development to replace the "G" model Pave Hawks. The Air Force also has four HH-60U "Ghost Hawks", which are converted "M" variants. They are based out of [[Area 51]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/30245/area-51-has-its-own-unique-fleet-of-hh-60u-ghost-hawk-helicopters|title=Area 51 Has Its Own Unique Fleet Of HH-60U Ghost Hawk Helicopters|website=thedrive.com|date=1 December 2019|access-date=19 July 2023}}</ref> * [[Lockheed HC-130|HC-130N and HC-130P Combat King]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.defensenews.com/air/2023/10/18/goodbye-dials-digital-avionics-coming-to-aging-us-air-force-c-130s/|title=Goodbye dials, Digital avionics coming to aging US Air Force C-130s|last=Losey|first=Stephen|date=October 18, 2023|website=Defense News|access-date=November 22, 2023}}</ref> * [[Lockheed HC-130|HC-130J Combat King II]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theaviationist.com/2021/07/27/hc-130j-combat-king-ii-walkaround/|title=Let's Explore The HC-130 Combat King II with this Amazing Walk-around tour|last=D'Urso|first=Stefano|date=July 27, 2021|website=The Aviationist|access-date=November 22, 2023}}</ref> * [[Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk|HH-60G, HH-60U and HH-60W Pave Hawk]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/usaf-concept-hh60g-firepower/|title=USAF designs new concept to boost HH-60G helicopter's firepower|date=November 23, 2022|website =Air Force Technology|access-date=November 22, 2023}}</ref> <!-- These lists are only for aircraft currently in USAF service. -->
