Hard landing or crash, props to the pilot for putting it down level instead of upside down.

Take a look at the paint color. Even the "best" f-it away every now and again.

Is the black paint specific to a designated squadron?

I am going to hazard a guess it is a SOCOM bird, I haven't seen any 'standard' Blackhawks painted that way.

Any landing you can walk away from...

Fielded a question from a relative about what exactly a 'hard deck landing' was, as another atricle referenced it. My answer was a landing where you miss the flight deck completely and trash the helicoter but everyone lives without going for a swim.

Oh you're right - that is a 160th bird... good catch.

Looks similar to a mishap a few years ago onboard USNS Arctic. Real HVBSS is hard.

Real HVBSS, when only practiced once or twice a year, is especially hard.

Unlike whisky and bourbon, it doesn't get better with age
