Black Hawk

About the last helicopter on the page, that is actually a Sikorsky VH-60 Black Hawk and is indeed a United States Army aircraft. It's primary mission is flying high ranking officials from the Pentagon as well as other dignitaries. I once read one of the crew chiefs assigned to the aircraft state that there are only four of those helicopters in use by the US Army. If so, that would make it quite a rare addition to the site. --Ford guy 05:34, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info there - didn't know anything about this VIP version before. I'm not sure what the title should be though as it's sometimes referred to as a VH-60 and elsewhere as a UH-60A e.g. on Airliners.net - UH-60A Bthebest 10:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I've seen it identified in most places as a VH-60. Wouldn't that make sense since the "U" stands for utility?--Ford guy 01:34, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree with VH-60 as it specifically modified for that role. Bthebest 02:54, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
