Can't find info on army tail #

I was at the 2009 Great Georgia Airshow and photographed a UH-60 black hawk. The number "20138" was on the tail. The sign in front of it indicates a UH-60M. I have searched A-D, Google, other attendees' photos on Flickr, Airliners.net, and http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/usafserials.html. I have come up with nothing. Army tail numbers always seem to be the hardest to find info on. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps seem easier. Any Suggestions.?

Thanks,

Your UH-60M may be an upgrade/mod from earlier production.

This search engine might help for Joe's website:

It is sometimes painfully slow, and sometimes down for maintenance, but yields good results.

May also be a fresh frame or mod that is not listed yet...

e.g. UH-60M 27000 (04-27000) is ex 84-23953 rebuilt.

other bits:

906 UH-60A / 311 UH-60L conversions planned.

New s/n: New c/n:

02-26976 / 02-26978 M-1 / M-3

04-26998 / 04-27001 ?

05-20001, 05-20002 ?

05-27047 ?

Had to re-edit this post several times, that's what I get for posting at 6AM with NO coffee...

Could it be 26138? That would make it 89-26138...

or it could be an upgrade re-serial numbered as John says...Army #'s do seem a bit difficult at times.

It could well be. Some Blackhawks from that batch are being or have been upgraded from -L to -M (89-26213/26217 Sikorsky UH-60L Blackhawk).

Not enough data out there yet, that I could find.

A couple more conversion tie-ups:

77-22716 to UH-60M as 02-26978

85-24432 (old c/n: 70-914) to UH-60M as 02-26976

Definitely not 26138. I took a close up of the tail under the assumption that it would be enough to find it. Maybe next time I will just ask the pilot. I also think I remember the announcer saying that one of the Blackhawks there was brand new. I'm still searching around for info

Well Rats...that blows my theory...

The hunt is on!
