The Army has 1,460 UH-60 BlackHawk helicopters, and has grounded 960 of them due to a faulty part that has caused one aircraft to lose oil pressure. The 960 BlackHawks of the UH-60a, EH-60A, and UH-60Q series will not be allowed to fly except in military or medical emergencies until the parts are replaced.--Stephen V Cole
