Sikorsky has announced that the five new S-70i Black Hawk multi-mission helicopters delivered to the Colombian Army have been formally inducted into the force. The aircraft were accepted during an 11 February ceremony in Tolemaida attended by Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon.

Colombia is the first South American country to buy the S-70i Black Hawk helicopter variant from Sikorsky. The five aircraft were custom-equipped for the special forces of the Colombian Army's Air Assault Division.

The aircraft have been fitted with a digital cockpit and advanced avionics, including a dual GPS/INS system with digital map that provides accurate navigation and enhanced situational awareness.
