Pavehawk

I have about 2000 hours in the US Navy H-60 Seahawk helicopter.  It is a great machine.  Very powerful, versatile and reliable.  There have been a lot of versions of the H-60 in all the services.  BTW, Sikorsky has made a ton of money on the Hawk franchise.  Like I said, it's not only a great helo but very successful.

This version is the Pavehawk.  It's used by the Special Operations forces for Combat Search and Rescue.  It has an enormous array of weapons and sensors and is hugely capable of penetrating enemy territory to effect a rescue in a hostile environment.  I've never flown it....but I'd sure like to!  Now this is a cool pic!
