WTF did that come off of? It definitely looks like a helicopter tail, but it's not off a Black (or Pave) Hawk. Tail rotor is all wrong, horizontal surfaces all wrong, vertical surface all wrong, area where the tail rotor mounts is all wrong. And it looks like it's got five blades, not the 'Hawk's four.

... it almost looks like a movie prop. Or a low-observable (hence the tail rotor hub cover). But it seems like we'd have nailed that with a JDAM instead of dropping a hint like this...

Here's a link to some actual photos of the aftermath. Yes, there are graphic pics of dead Muzzies. Sadly OBL isn't one of them, but the shot placement is a thing of beauty.

There is at least one fake pic out there of what is supposed to be OBL with a bullet in the melon. It's a fake and here is the pic along with the source pics that were used in the Photoshop.

There's a couple of good shots of the rotor assembly in the first link. Speculation is that it's a stealth prototype.

Yea it is. First thing I noticed about it was the tail rotor looks very similar to the one in the crash pic. I have to wonder if the rest of the helo looks like the drawing, or if it's a case like the Monogram model of the Stealth Bomber; just a lucky guess that turned out to be pretty much right on the money.

I'm betting that someone, somewhere is wishing that that tail section had been totally destroyed like the rest of the airframe.

It is a classfied Low-Observable helicopter based on MH-60.

Yeah. Figured it was a stealth helicopter when I saw the photo. Too bad they had to blow it up.

Those articles arent written buy soldiers, just like the air force times arent written by airman.

There's plenty more where that came from.....

I found a photo of the helo that they used. It was developed during the Reagan administration!

[Acera]

Here is another possible look for the helicopter. At least this one has the stealthy main rotor blades........

This one is what some Russians think it looks like.

If I remember correctly, that model was completely off target. They had a real rounded plane, where the actual thing was angular. I think they made a big deal about it's accuracy before anyone saw the real thing. Threw the dogs off the scent.

This is the one from 1987. Does not look anything like what the real one ended up being like. But it made quite a stir back then. Government Disinformation is not new, LOL.

Heh, I remember all the F-19 speculation. Wound up being nowhere as wild as reality, though looking back, that F-19 looks to have borrowed heavily from the XB-70 Valkyrie.

Six degrees of separation thing. I know the guy (Tony Landis) who took the first pictures of the F-117 which were subsequently made public and blew the lid off the program. Amazing and ironic thing was at first the Pentagon and federal government wanted to crucify him for revealing the aircraft, but since he had been on public land when he'd taken the pictures there was nothing they could do. So what did they end up doing? They gave him a job, I kid you not. He was offered a job at Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB and was given a security clearance so he'd be able to photograph some of the classified vehicles during flight test. Fact is often more strange than fiction, and sometimes borderline insane.....
