S-70 and UH60 are the same, but only with designation differences. That's why I proposed the merge.

I agree to a certain degree although they are both the same type of helicopter and have the same History they are completly different because one of them has been designed to withstand more bullets and projectiles and overall designed for war. And the S-70 has been designed for search and rescue and surely the interior will have been changed to suit this so Although both are of the same model they have been designed for different jobs which i think means they deserve seperate pages.

  • Note that the discuss link on UH-60 Black Hawk goes to Talk:UH-60 Black Hawk, and that includes a previous failed merge. Gene Nygaard 21:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose. But if there is a merger, it should be to UH-60 Black Hawk as the most common name in English. Compare "what links here" for the two articles, with only about 20 other than redirects and talk pages to the S-70, and near 100 for the UH-60. Gene Nygaard 21:31, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Oppose There is a separate page for each major variant of the S-70 (Blackhawk, Pavehawk, Seahawk, Jayhawk and others). --rogerd 00:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
I see no reason to merge them. The UH-60 is sufficiently different to warrant an article in my opinion. --Falcorian (talk) 01:05, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
