First Hawk of 2022 i laid my eyes on was Slovak Training Academy (part of IDAG) Blackhawk at ILA Berlin 2022 in June.... was marketed also as a airborne firefighting so led to belive this one is operating in Australia for the firefighting season. So here are my pics



cheers

No special paintjob like the 5,000th Phantom? *sniff*

Maybe there just wasn't room to fit all the users nations' flags on?

Holy cow ! 5000 H-60s... FIVE THOUSANDS ?? And I thought 1800 Pumas was a big production run for a chopper.

I think there are somewhere around 150 more H-60 on order, with the platform still in competition for more requirements. Given that there are already several niche' companies that refurbish older H-60, I think people will be looking up to see these beasties fly by somewhere on the planet until ...2070.

35 for Greece:

Lockheed Martin to Replace Greece's Entire Helicopter Fleet. Is Lockheed Stock a Buy?

A $2 billion sale may sound like a lot. But for a company as big as Lockheed Martin, it doesn't much move the needle.

Well Australia, Indonesia, and Greece will keep the subs and production line going for another year.
