This Blackhawk belonged to HMX-1 and accompanied POTUS George Bush during an unexpected visit to the US Embassy-Kabul. Multiple 1-160th CH-47Ds, MH-47Gs, UH-60Ls and two HMX-1 VH-60Ns landed on or near HQ ISAF that is close to the US Embassy. Overhead was an AC-130 and a flight of A-10s gave Close Air Support while F-16s gave top cover. Quite an operation! Unfortunately, the HMX-1 helicopters are very difficult to read and the weather was not that good this day. But this is really 163266 :-)

Due to tight security measures, not all helicopters could be appraoched, but this one was.
