The Black Hawk Helicopter is a four-bladed, twin-engine helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. It entered service with the U.S. Army in 1979, as the Army’s tactical transport helicopter. Then electronic warfare and special operations variants of the Black Hawk were developed. Black Hawks have served in many combat operations. Today, they were practicing formation takeoffs and landings at the airport.

This Black Hawk Helicopter was practicing touch & goes as well as ground maneuvers at the airport today. Helicopters pose special considerations since the shutter speed must be fairly low to get the blur effect on the blades. Also, good panning skills are required as it moves through the air. It took me a while to get the best tradeoff between blade blur and sharp fuselage.
