Hi people,
reading the various post about the two mistery heloes used during the Bin Laden raid, I thought at the various official names, nicknames, commercial names and code names referring to the many versions of the Sikorsky S-70/S-78/H-60 family, universally known as the Black Hawks. I compiled an incomplete list:
S-70 UH-60A Black Hawk
S-70B/L UH-60B/SH-60B Seahawk
S-78-20 (former S-70C-20) apparently no name
S-78-29 (former S-70-29) as above
EH-60B Black Hawk SOTAS
HH-60D Night Hawk (cancelled)
HH-60DA Night Hawk (cancelled)
EH-60A/C Black Hawk Quick Fix IIB
HH-60A Night Hawk (cancelled)
HH-60E Night Hawk (cancelled)
S-70L/B SH-60C Seahawk (cancelled)
S-70C (perhaps as S-78)
S-70B VH-60A Sea Dragon
MH-60G Pave Hawk Interim Credible Hawk
MH-60K Pave Hawk
S-70A etc. International Black Hawk
S-70A-1 (et alia) Desert Hawk
S-70B-4 SH-60F Ocean Hawk CV Helo or CVIZASW
S-70B-5 HH-60H Rescue Hawk HCS
S-70B-5 HH-60J Jayhawk" MRR (perhaps former HH-60F)
MH-60A (?) Embassy Hawk
UH-60L Interim Pave Hawk
S-70A-18 UH-60P Black Hawk
S-70C(M)-1 Seahawk
MH-60L Pave Hawk
S-70L/B VH-60N Presidential Hawk
S-70C-6 Thunderhawk (?) SAR for Taiwan
Firehawk (commercial version, no info)
AH-60L Black Hawk DAP (Direct Action penetrator)
S-70B MH-60S Knighthawk
S-70A(N) Naval Hawk
HH-60L Dustoff Black Hawk
S-70BTM Naval Hawk (version for Singapore)
S-70B MH-60R Strikehawk
