all i have seen are some graphical representations on the web.

Just a smoothed over Black Hawk.

Or you can build a model of it!

Not sure.,. seems like a plausible concept.

I did read that the one that crashed was an older model.

The "Ghost Hawk" is the real super stealth chopper.

I heard a radio interview with a former SEAL Team Six officer who has written a book with an "insiders" view on the mission.

I believe he called it a Stealthhawk...but he didn't go into any detail on the helicopters.

Pretty well kept secret even after the cat got out of the bag with the Bin Laden mission. I hope I am not reposting links here but :

There was a pretty good discussion on Fencecheck about this but I cannot seem to locate it now.

There seems to be inconsistencies in the stories of when the helicopter got into trouble.
Early stories (and a recent quasi documentary I saw on TV) put the problem incoming later sources on the way out.
I am sure that not all the features of the H-66 disappeard with the cancelation of the project

Not my area of interest, but David Cenciotti's blog gives some remarkable deductive insights and illustrations, and the origins of some of the myths - people copying some of David's filing system!
