This Blackhawk Thing.

If I were user of emoticons, I would have used one of them that represents friendly banter.

Don't worry about me.  I turned my years in Army aviation into a 6 figure income as a contractor.

Heh!

Looking at these guys faces;

I think it was this ones bird that went down;

It has been reported as a mixed team of Navy SEALs and Army Delta Operators flown in by Army Spec Ops (presumably 160th SOAR (Special Ops Aviation Regiment, Nightstalkers) heavily modified MH-60s.

I thought the Navy used the Seahawk, the Army uses the Blackhawk. Looks like they took the stealth technology from the Commanche and put it on the Seahawk.

I'm going to resist the quick & easy shot about how NCOs have to make it easy for the officers to understand.

Also, check out the "Stealth Blackhawk" thread a few posts down on the main helo modeling page.

 

Don't blame me.  You're the one who needs help.  Good luck, hope you're successful.

Might be easier if you posted a photo of the mystery chopper.

I thought the Comanche was a gunship not capable of carrying troops. The sheered off tail section, even with the mods still looks like a Blackhawk.

what we have been told so far is that the Helo used was a modified special operations MH-60. and yes everything I have seen myself looks like they leared a few things with the comanche.  Still no photoes and everyone I have been able to comntact has not seen it , yet.

it is probably an S-67 Blackhawk by sikorsky, only other balck hawk chopper i know of
