What type of helo is this?

What is the emblem on it?

One of the Presidential VH-60s?

Blackhawk for sure.  Kind of looks like Marine 1 (or 2).  Did they move to 'Hawks yet?  Some sort of ceremonial bird.

That's a UH-60 Blackhawk.

The marking is the Army unit insignia for "The Military District of Washington".

Sikorsky S-70/SH-60B Seahawk?????

VH-60

It's a  UH-60 Blackhawk with the MDW (Military District of Washington) Patch painted on the side,
doh!!! sgt beat me to it

Okay..this was taken on the South Side of Arlington Cemetery.  I was in the area of the Nurses Memorial and heard this helo coming in low..then it landed just on the other side of the fence.

It was followed by a black full size executive series and a black suv of some type...all with very dark windows.

Any idea?

Get out of the house they know where you are!!!!

Quoted: Careful... You could be drawing attention to yourself here.

This was in a public area in view of anyone who would have been in that part of the cemetery.  I was close enough to feel the rotor wash from it when the pics were taken.

BTW...it was taken on Sept. 11 at around 1pm(ish)
