REQ: UH-60M at Fort Rucker May 2011

[Erik_7Xi]

Hello,

In the week of 9-12 May, I was at Fort Rucker and photographed one of their new(er) UH-60Ms, with code "00F".

The serial on the tail is very hard to read, much harder than most other UH-60s, but it seems to read "20100".

I know that 08-20105 and 08-20109 are existing UH-60M numbers but I can't find anything on "08-20100". I've checked FY05, FY06 and FY07 but I just cannot find any UH-60M with a serial number ending with "20100". The last digits on the tail are very clear and I am certain it's "0100" and not either 105/109.

Would anyone know the ID of this particular UH-60M?

Many thanks!

08-20100 remains a mystery there is nothing i know about this one as well , it could be a conversion serial. Many older blackhawks have been given a new serial when they got modified to -M model , yet there are not truly a -M.

Thanks - didn't think about a conversion model. Is there any way to visually tell a conversion UH-60M from a new delivered UH-60M?
