They were stationed there 'cuz the raiforest is way to big to small choppers do the work. So we need a little more "weight" there and the answear is the Uh-60. But the blackhawks aren't from the Air Force, but from the army. They have some plans to buy the MH-53 Pave or MH-47 Chinook.
Of course they can be used everywhere but they were most needed on the Amazon Rainforest. There are no many places to land an aircraft, so an hello is welcome to aid indigenous comunities that live far from civilization till todays.
