The Beirut Air Bridge (1984–1998) provided administrative and logistical support the United States embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.[1] The Air Bridge provided the only safe mode of transportation for US diplomats between Larnaca International Airport, Larnaca, Cyprus, and several landing zones in the greater Beirut area.
UH-60 "Blackhawks" from C Co 7/158th Aviation Regiment, 12th Aviation Brigade, V Corps and from Wiesbaden Air Base and Giebelstadt Army Airfield, Germany, provided the "Air Bridge" to the US Embassy in the war-torn city of Beirut. Elements of this unit continued to perform this mission until July 1998.[2]
