What got me wondering is, in the vid from approx 1:21 to 1:25 we get some glimpse of the craft's nose profile.
What I think I see is a more verticle front windscreen/window than in a Black Hawk, bulkier engine housings on the upper hull, and the sensor protrusion seeming to be on the left nose of the craft.
I'm not a Heli'spert though. My only xp was on CH47 and CH53 rides way back in the day.
To be fair I could be wrong, all a very similar outline even with the refuelling extension. I've flown the Black Hawk once along with the older AH1 W Cobra, but I was in a different military and country when I was flying rotary with different aircraft. I was going mainly on instinct.
Blackhawk.

I have heard that only SpecOps exclusively uses Blackhawks with refueling extension.
However, I think both Blackhawks and those killer egg copters were both on the deck on Wilshire Blvd that night.
The "Little Bird" AH - 6 is another I've been in, impressive rotary aircraft! Yes the AH - 6 went in first I believe (IIRC).
