United States Army New Light Utility Helicopter

The UH-72A is designed to take on a range of missions, from general support and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) to personnel recovery and counter-narcotics operations. They are planned to replace the UH-1 and OH-58A/C, which are older light utility helicopters, and supplant other types in domestic use.

Amazing Landing of F-15

(Its an amazing video of landing of F-15 Aircraft by an Israeli Pilot with One Wing Only.You may Call it a miracle.)

In the year 1983 an F-15 of the Israeli airforce collided with a skyhawk while doing a practice. The skyhawk blew away but the pilot abandoned it peacefully.The f-15 lost his right wind but the pilot Ziv Nadivi couldnt see it because of the vast fuel fumes that covered it.The pilot and the navigator Yehuar Gal didnt not know they are flying on one wing only, a state which is of course "impossible" to fly in, and didnt not abandoned the jet but continued to land a crash landing.

Because of the high velocity of the jet (450kmph) while landing, the stopping hook was cut away and the jet stopped a few meters before the end of the runway.
