ST0RM Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Obviously winter training ops. Any info behind it? Timeframe, place, etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ExchefAndy Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Not me personally, but it does look cool! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Don't really have any further info, but it looks somewhat recent since it is an MH-60M with UES (Upturned Exhaust System). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnEB Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Not that I have spent much time looking, but I haven't seen a H-60 bear claw units before. H-47s, like the one in the background, yes, but not H-60. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clinstone Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 The Alaska-based USAF and Army H-60s have them used for decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Definitely interesting to see a whitewashed Blackhawk, it looks to be a still from a video, judging by the mute option in the corner. I did an image search for more views of this bird, but came up empty. Storm, where did you find this, please? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Looks like it's a vinyl wrap or similar at that, since there appears to be a Multicam Alpine-esque camouflage pattern if you look at the doghouse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Newtonk Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Damn, now that makes it an interesting challenge to model... I'll look for further images. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I've talked to the crew chief of this bird and yes, it was a camo trial for winter ops. I was told this mission was outside the US and it did have customers on board. Their S2 had a cow when they found out this pic was released. Nuff said!!! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 @hawkwrench Thanks for the info. Even limited, a little bit of behind the scene is cool. Hopefully someone builds it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Ah, ok then, so a walk around is out of the question? Asking for a friend... I'm looking at a lonely, lovely Kitty hawk kit... And Reskit stuff, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
