2/ Not to be outdone in glamour and prestige by the president’s “white top” helicopters, the Army came up with “gold top” luxury Black Hawks to shuttle their VIP brass—as well as civilian SES bigshots—between their many Washington-area HQs and commands. Their precious time is simply far too valuable to be wasted sitting stuck in traffic among the restless peasants! They have Very Important Business to attend! So only the very best will do for our senior brass. PAT-25 was the call sign of the deadly Black Hawk which destroyed itself and the airliner. PAT stands for Priority Air Transport, which is military-speak for VIP helo transportation.
