The UH-60 'Black Hawk' Helicopter was derived from the original Sikorsky S-70 model, and put into service with with the US Army beginning in 1979. It was purchased by the Army as an eventual replacement for the UH-1 'Iroquois', nicknamed 'Huey'. The UH-60 Black Hawks carried greater loads, including more troops, and had greater range. There a great many variants of the Sikorsky S-70 / UH-60, including variants used by the military forces of many nations. There are also US Navy variants of the S-70/UH-60 called the SH-60 'Seahawk'. An army variant of the original UH-60 is an MH-60 'stealth helicopter' version, modified to reduce radar signature. Two of these were used in the special operation by US Navy Seals to get Osama bin Laden. As for the Pave Hawk, this was another variant, the HH-60. This variant was fitted with various special electronic features to aid in search and rescue missions, as well as insertion and extraction of special operations personnel.
