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

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.

Thanks for the info. Will it be assigned to Escuadron 512 ?

[Antilliaan]

presumably yes, homebase will be Rionegro for sure.
