Bin Laden Helo???
That tail section of that "Blackhawk" doen't look right to me
Bin Laden Raid May Have Exposed Stealth Helo | AVIATION WEEK Laden Raid May Have Exposed Stealth Helo |

Osama bin Laden Kill Site Eyeball
Lots of photos of the site and a partial of the helo, it is evident that great efforts were made to conceal the remains of the wreckage as it was moved off site. |
I was wondering why they wouldn't use ospreys? Isn't Long Flights requiring speed what it was made for? I am sure they had reasons and were considered and rejected, but it's be interesting to see how the raid was planned and executed besides what has come out thus far.

I guess given that we weren't "invited" to the party, a couple of "fast movers" would not have been appreciated to go in to clean up the wreckage of our presence.
Wonder how long before that tail rotor shows up on e-bay. |

Maybe they couldn't land enough of them inside that compound. That is one BIG bird. At a time, I know there were concerns with the ability to fast rope out of the hell hole at least, but I've seen them rappelling out of the back.
USMCFLYR Plus they did had the LO issue to consider, since they were penetrating a friendly country with a capable air defense system. |

The disc shaped object appears to be the upper rotor mast of an MH-6 (Little bird). Highly likely the 160th SOAR inserted the SEAL's via this platform.
