The helicopters that flew the Navy SEALs on the mission to kill Osama bin Laden were a radar-evading variant of the special operations MH-60 Black Hawk, according to a retired special operations aviator.

Certain retired special operations aviators should learn to keep their mouths shut and not reveal vital US military secrets.

It may be new, but anybody with a brain should be able to figure out that would only hold two or three people. It looks like it could hold a pilot and a horizonal load, such as a flat dead body. Other than that it is a very small copter, not capable of carrying a dozen seals.

I hate to sound like a party pooper, but I’m very angry about the loss of the helicopter. It reminds me way too much of the keystone cops comedy of errors of the the Iran hostage rescue attempt under Carter. Why or how was it lost?
Also, why tell everyone about the treasure trove of information found in the house? Why mention anything about it?

So it was Nightstalker equipment.

BTW the DAP was initiated by Michael Durant.

I’ll talk to one of several guys that work at Pratt and Sikorsky in North Palm Beach that live here and find out more about this little gem.
Thanks./
