I have updated the Black Hawk page
http://www.adf-serials.com.au/3a25.htm
First off was the correction of all our references of Blackhawk to Black Hawk
This also included all the photo captions (Quite an effort!)
This follows a tradition of the US Army giving their helicopters North American Indian names such as Apache, Sioux, Iroquois, Chinook and Kiowa.
Sikorsky named the UH.60 and S-70A Black Hawk
Confusingly the S-70B uses the single word name Seahawk (a registered trademark)
I have also re-configured the page to our standard format of the dates descending down the page.
The names of the 18 killed in the tragic accident on June 1996 have been listed.
Mention is made of Operation Gemini in 1993. Despite lots of photos I have been unable to ID any aircraft involved.

The Seahawk page has also been re-configured the page to our standard format of the dates descending down the page.

With both types being gradually withdrawn from service any information regarding retirements would be most welcome
