US Navy HC-4 Black Stallions Sticker — Heavy Haulers of the Fleet
The Black Stallions of HC-4 moved the heaviest loads the Navy needed carried — by helicopter.
Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 4 (HC-4), the Black Stallions, was a U.S. Navy helicopter squadron that operated the CH-53E Sea Stallion and its predecessors, providing heavy-lift vertical onboard delivery and cargo transport for the fleet. HC-4 filled a unique niche in naval aviation, using the Navy's heaviest helicopters to move oversized cargo, equipment, and personnel that smaller utility helicopters could not handle. The Black Stallions deployed throughout the Mediterranean and Atlantic, supporting carrier battle groups and shore installations with critical heavy-lift capability that complemented the smaller utility and anti-submarine helicopter squadrons.
Perfect For: HC-4 Black Stallions veterans, CH-53 Sea Stallion crews, heavy-lift helicopter enthusiasts, fleet logistics aviators, and Navy helicopter heritage sticker collectors.
Black Stallions — the Navy's heavy-lift heroes.
