Noted today at New Orleans/Lakefront Airport was Blackhawk FAC4138. It also carried serial 27241 above the cabin. Any more details know, like US FY or model?

Thanks
Carey

It is an UH-60L maybe HH-60L, they do not have any M Models.they had ordered 7 from Existing U.S. Inventory as the U.S Transtions to the UH-60M variant,3 for Colombian Army,3 For Colombian Police Force and 1 for Colombian Air Force (Medivac).With the serial 27241 it wil be 10-11 year ,it is a newer H-60L.

It flew south via Brownsville (TX), visiting several Central American countries and arrived at Rionegro (Colombia) on March 5th, still wearing its last five 27241.
