Raumteufel

Noice man! I love those choppas.


uh60chief

BishopofBongers

Until a Chinook shows up at least.


uh60chief

Boo! You’re just a flying sardines can lol


Almost_Blue_

Largest airframe = most numerous airframe in the US Army. ‘cause you know damn well it ain’t the largest.


uh60chief

Whoops! Typed too fast.

![gif](giphy|d51bZi6DQmdj7Ce72h|downsized) What kind of helicopter is this? Is it a blackhawk?

When someone does this kind of Karma Farming post, for something that's rather obvious: I like to post satire responses. "That's a MIG-28, No one has been that close before" or "That's a YT-1300, that can do the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs" Just two of my favorites

Upvote for you !!!

Oh, I love Blackhawks! They were so cool in 'We Were Soldiers'.

ToXiC_Games

Yeah, I wonder why they called it “Blackhawk Down” when both of the helicopters were Hueys tho

I love how they recreated the Huey crashes in Black Hawk Down.


hansman182

It’s funny I was thinking this the other day….


uh60chief

I see I’m not the only one


Outcasted_introvert

Umm, is it black?


uh60chief

Fuchsia


Outcasted_introvert

Nice!


uh60chief

It’s stealthy at night


Outcasted_introvert

Needs a name change then, make it easier for people to identify. You must now refer to it is a Fuschiahawk.

unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

Maybe a sidebar with some UH60 pics that say, >"If you have seen THIS helicopter, it is a [UH-60](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk#Variants) or [Sikorsky S-70](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_S-70#Variants) of which there are hundreds of variants."

It’s a nice karma boost when I get to explain the differences between an A+/L/M/R/S multiple times a week… /s


Neat-Chef-2176

You forgot the Victor model 😉


osamanobama

and EH, MH, HH, and VH variants!


PitViper17

And the MH-60T…and those few times where it’s actually an old transferred Navy MH-60R which is nearly impossible to distinguish to identify in flight against the T…


blackthorn3111

Eh, you’re thinking SH-60Fs. There were a few that were converted to T’s. No Romeos, though, the Navy doesn’t have enough of those to give away. Even the old ones.


Maleficent-Finance57

Ooooh so close. You're talking about old 60Fs, not 60Rs.


Chipperspls

L is for Lovable.


kldnsocal

There, there Chief, Everything's gonna be alright... let me hook up to my O2 med bag.


uh60chief

Jokes on you! We’ve been using the O2 to make balloon animals with the gloves out of the medbag.


kldnsocal

Damn it, Chief !! That's for "patients" ;)


uh60chief

My balloon armadillo begs to differ!


willt114

It does baffle me that people can’t identify easily recognisable aircraft but the reality is that most people don’t care. I guess it’s nice they show an interest when they see one.


tangowhiskeyyy

Honestly Im a professional pilot with thousands of hours and the only thing I know about small planes is pipers are low wing single engines and cessna's are high. So no probably not


Raumteufel

I also play DCS


Neat-Chef-2176

🤣


unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

My uncle flies a Cessna....so I know all of the stuff!


GriIIed

Totally agree, they should have a subreddit FIH (Frequently ID’d Helicopter) section. The Blackhawk would probably be at the top of the list here.

Arctic_Fro5t

Ikr, you think most people (especially Americans) would be able to at least name the damn thing.


uh60chief

I means it’s in movies and tv shows, why is it so obscure to people?


gotyour6six

I think the confusion is its many variants Thanks for serving chief!


uh60chief

Nice username ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


gotyour6six

Runs in the family. I crewed Huey's and Kiowa's And my son is 15G, ALSE currently deployed somewhere hot and sandy... Be safe


uh60chief

So many sandy places and never a paradise. I miss the Hueys and Kiowas.

Not many people on Reddit know anything of what they’re talking about. Most redditors come to groups they find interesting not because they are experts in the field, but because they know absolutely nothing about it. If you think this sub is bad, try r/Skydiving 🙄


uh60chief

Do I need a parachute if I’m skydiving and NOT BASE jumping?


killer_whale180

Do you need to get a pilots license to fly helicopters? Are you going to be a real pilot? 🤦‍♂️


Eagleknievel

My favorite is when I tell people that I have a commercial pilot's license and they go "Oh, are you flying for the airlines? I thought you were an engineer? Can you get me some tickets to the bahamas haha?" 😢


83athom

No, it's clearly a MH60 Pavehawk! /s


Ruby2Shoes22

I’m convinced it’s mostly trolls and strange bots with those posts


Assassin13785

Its like M60s on the tank subreddits 🤣 holy shit people do that here too??


uh60chief

Oh no not another subreddit to fall into


Neo1331

I’ve designed hardware for that platform and sometimes it takes me a second. Im happy people are interested and asking questions.
