1172200 —

Tom, the full serialization for this Lakota should be U.S. Army s/n 11-72200. I'm not sure FA's data entry will accept that full number, however.

The "72" (from the model number) is prefixed to the series number for all H-72 helicopters to make the 5 digits displayed... this one becomes the 200th in the series, showing FY 2011 procurement (from Joe Baugher's information).

An EADS North America LUH-72A Lakota, built at American Eurocopter, now Airbus Helicopters, Inc., at their facility near Columbus, Mississippi.

Thanks for sharing this very nice photo with us!

You're welcome, Tom, and thank you for uploading this Lakota helicopter.
