Can’t tell if it’s a Longbow without seeing the dome on top..

To anyone that says there is only a UH60, here is an AH60 (minus a fuel pod):

But, I do stand corrected, the tail rotor is on the wrong side, and not slanted on the original post.

I didn’t say it was a Black Hawk. Sure you got the right reply to?

I was just making a general comment but I don’t think its an Apache either. Probably a Sea Cobra.

They flew a few of those over our house once, too. I did take pictures of it back then and I think I put them on FR but there is no way to go through all my posts here. I wish we had a better way to look things up more specifically.
It sure looked heavy.

It is definitely not a (Sea) Cobra. A cobra would be much more narrow, and have skids instead of wheels.
It would also only have 2 main and tail rotors, not 4.

(BTW, the Super Cobras did have 4x4 rotors)

Could be. But I stand with apache because I can see 4 blades on the main rotor. Cobras/sea cobras only have 2 main rotor blades.

Thank YOU, these are beautiful.
I am partial to paintings with water in them so, like you, I like the one with the river running through it!

Osprey Tilt rotor
I got to ride in one in Iraq from Liberty base to Haditha dam.
I prefer CH46's as long as it has hydraulic fluid leaking.
the Marines when I was in called it the "flying sh!tter" which was better than the CH53 which was called the crowd killer (when it falls out of the sky it kills a crowd)

OMG! I’d be afraid to go up in one. They look so heavy, I can well imagine the reason for their nickname!.

Well good eye on the skids. You’re right. I think maybe its a Hind. From underneath the Hind looks most like the pic posted. I know we have some Hinds but I didn’t think about it.

I just read this on Twitter (X)
“The U.S. Navy has ordered the grounding of all military Osprey aircraft after eight service members died in a crash off Japan”.

I never liked that d*mn thing. Lost a few friends while they were beta-testing, so it doesn’t surprise me.
Pray for their families.
