Here is a little info on the Blackhawk...

Description and Specifications
The UH 60 Blackhawk is a utility tactical transport helicopter that replaces the UH-1 "Huey". The versatile Blackhawk has enhanced the overall mobility of The Army, due to dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability, and will serve as The Army's utility helicopter in the Objective Force. On the asymmetric battlefield, it provides the commander the agility to get to the fight quicker and to mass effects throughout the battlespace across the full spectrum of conflict. An entire 11-person, fully-equipped infantry squad can be lifted in a single Blackhawk, transported faster than in predecessor systems, in most weather conditions. The Blackhawk can reposition a 105mm Howitzer, its crew of six, and lift up to 30 rounds of ammunition in a single lift. The aircraft's critical components and systems are armored or redundant, and its airframe is designed to progressively crush on impact to protect the crew and passengers.

Blackhawk

The only way to get one with weapons is to fly for the 160th...Delta Force

GP, how long has your cousin been flying them. My brother has been in Iraq, flying Blackhawks since March.

When does your cousin ship out? Hopefully Bro will be home in January.

Sorry for the thread-jacking Slightly Enhanced.
