                        Interresting. Any idea what unit these CamoHawks are from? The last pic looks to be out here at NTC. Wonder when they were painted that way?

                        Yes, interesting.. They are very similar to the Australian Army AusCam paint scheme..

                        Man, I can't remember wherer and when and that really bugs me. I want to say they were captioned as being from Californina (ARNGQuestion [?])

                        It's been a while since I downloaded 'em; I forgot I had them until today. Aside from sharing, I was kinda hoping someone here would know! Big Smile [:D]

                        Looks like they are Army Reserve, first pic has USAR on the tail. Now that I look at them closer, all the pics look like they could have been taken out here at NTC. They look pretty cool and would be interresting to have a Blackhawk model in NATO camo.

                        That's what I was thinking - it would be cool to finish a Black Hawk in NATO camo for a change. I'm not planning on it, but someone else might want to.

                        Hi Guys,
                        Here's the info that was posted with those pics;

                        QUOTE: Fitted with the new MILES-II System. Company B, 1/140th Aviation was requested to provide two UH-60's to support the 48th Infantry Brigade. This aircraft is the second oldest UH-60 in the U.S. Army Inventory. Note the unique paint scheme, formerly used for training at Fort Rucker and the Army Reserve. The aircraft is now in Bosnia, being used by the 126th Medevac


                        The pics and info are on the Helispot Photo Page.
