| Alan , TX | Just to add to the comment regarding the name Sikorsky use two words Black Hawk in all of their documentation and publicity literature. Thanks www.norrpress.co.uk 03/10/2010 @ 02:02 [ref: 25864] |
| Kyle , AL | Andy...the Army purchased the UH-60 Black Hawk, (two words) from the UTTAS contract, regardless of who it was named after, which brings to bear the question: Where is the AH-1 "Cobra" Indian tribe from? It may trace it's lineage to the Iroquois, but it was never deemed that. 09/22/2004 @ 15:07 [ref: 8311] |
| Shadow23 , AL | Don't mean to be correcting people or anything, but the previous comment about the name is incorrect. I am an UH-60 pilot, and my Operator's Manual says that I fly a BLACK HAWK, (two words).

| Andy Wagner , MA | Great website with lots of excellent information.
FYI: Notice that all Army helicopters and many of their other aircraft are named for American indian tribes. The UH-60 helicopter is no exception. Contrary to the popular movie, the name should be spelled "Blackhawk," not "Black Hawk." -Andy 02/04/2002 @ 07:25 [ref: 4248] |
