I named this image based on the fact that it says Blackhawk on the side. Come to find out it's actually Sikorsky MH-53E or maybe a CH53. There is some debate. Either way, I suppose the important part is that this was part of the Blackhawk squadron that was at the air show I took this at, but it is not an actual Blackhawk helicopter.

Thanks! Online, it said the Blackhawk is a UH-60. But, I have no personal knowledge of these things. I just Googled it.

What is it then? I'm not a helicopter pilot, so I don't know. I just thought it was a Blackhawk because that's what it said on the side in huge letters.

I just checked with my husband. He thinks the guy there (crew member or pilot, not sure which) told u it was a Blackhawk as well.

Okay, we just did some searching. Looks like this is part of the Blackhawk squadron, but it's actually a MH-53 Sea Dragon. At least that's our best guess now.

It's a Sikorsky MH-53E. It's used for mine sweeping and tows a mine sweeping sled through the water. Regardless of the misidentification, it's a very nice photograph. Nicely framed and looks great in black and white.
