Aviation Week reports that a new stealth version of the ubiquitous UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter may have ferried in SEAL Team 6 to Bin Laden's hideout, hence the extra efforts to blow up the one that crashed in the compound during the mission. Their normal ride is the MH-60 Special Ops version (left) that has lots of extra bells and whistles. I have been wondering how they got in without being detected by Pakistani AWACS aircraft and this may be the answer. Nice ride!
