DEA Blackhawk Helicopter

This is the Chopper that flew over Giants stadium with the american flag attached to it September 5, 2002 the crowd went wild. The powerful UH-60L Black Hawk is the current production model of the U.S.Army's rugged air assault and utility transport helicopter. More than 1,600 UH-60s have been delivered to the U.S.Army so far, and more than 400 Black Hawks serve the armed forces of countries from Australia to Turkey. Production deliveries of the UH-60 to U.S.Army began in October 1978. The Black Hawk first went into combat in Operation Urgent Fury, the invasion of Grenada in October 1983. In the fierce battle to stabilize the Caribbean island, the heavy-duty control components, redundant control runs, and self-sealing fuel tanks of the Black Hawk proved their value.




This is my version of what a DEA Blackhawk intercepter would look like. I have no idea if the DEA even uses blackhawks. This the Academy 1/35 scale UH-60L. The decals where custom made on a alps printer. Unfortunatly this model did not make it threw the last move.
