Perhaps
the most well-known variant, the version used by the US Army (Kandahar
Afghanistan) |
![](/01-2014/PenV/BLACKHAWK/02.JPG) |
The
helicopter can transport cargo, and 11 fully equipped soldiers, maximum 12 |

Seats
are simple but effective. After all it's not a holiday trip mostly... |

Striking
is the fact that the S-70 variant of Sikorsky is built in Poland by PZL
Mielec |
![](/01-2014/PenV/BLACKHAWK/04.jpg) |
All
over the world the machine is used, very intensively by the Israel Defense
Forces |
![](/01-2014/PenV/BLACKHAWK/04a.jpg) |
The
helicopter is very reliable also under difficult circumstances such as
temperature, dersert etc. |

Quite
impressing, but unfortunately actuality in Israel every now and then !

Our
photographer Koos Heemskerk saw this Blackhawk in Japan, equipped with so
called 'Stubwings' |

This
example is a Spanish Sea-Hawk, on the left of the fuselage the sonobuoys
facility for detecting submarines |

this machine concerns a Turkish variant of the Blackhawk family |

Koos
did well in Japan ! Here the carrier version, mind the double tail-wheels |

Another
variant is this one, capable of refuelling air-to-air. |

Austrian Blackhawk, without too many features around the fuselage |
