??? - Blackhawk's last flight
The Blackhawk in its original, handsome all-black scheme.
The Blackhawk inverted over runway 07 and travelling east, only seconds before it hit the ground.
Picture shows the one and only Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk rolling into a split-S turn in 1974, shortly after repainting in a camouflage finish. The world speed record for helicopters in its class is still credited to the S-67.
Exhaust ignites fuel vapour and fire breaks out.
