"Just a nice Picture...!"
Number four of five new Sikorsky S-70i Black Hawk helicopters for the Kong Thap Akat Thai (RTAF, Royal Thai Air Force) was photographed by Michel Niesten at PZL-Mielec (Poland).
The new S-70i, test registration SP-YVH (c/n 704103/071), has been delivered to Thailand in June 2022. It is now registered H.12-4/65 and is operated by 201 Squadron Spider at Lop Buri/Koke Kathiem. This unit operates the S-70i as well as the Sikorsky S-92.
The serials and test registrations of the Black Hawks are:
H.12-1/63 (c/n 704040/...) SP-YVI
H.12-2/64 (c/n 704056/054) SP-YVD
H.12-3/64 (c/n 704060/...) SP-YVE
H.12-4/65 (c/n 704103/071) SP-YVH
H.12-5/65 (c/n 704104/072) SP-YVI
We are still looking for the PZL Mielec order numbers of the first and the third S-70i. If you have information, please let us know at
