If you look closely you can see the "V" formed by the landing gear assembly,
a signature H-60 look. Also, the fuselage looks just way too long.

...and there is no smoke trail :1

I just took a look at the picture, and y'now, I think that it
just might be an old H-34/HUS/HSS-1. Really.
The 4 bladed rotor, the stabilizer on one side of the tail
rotor pylon, the V-shaped gear struts... In order to get
that rainbow the sun's gotta be above & behind the helicopter.
With that tall, thin fuselage, that sort of sun angle would
make a shadow like that.

OK, I'm lost. *What* page - link please - has this confusing
picture on it? If it's "old H-34/HUS/HSS-1", I might be able to
confirm it, having racked up a *lot* of aircrew hours in Marine
H-34s. As it is, on the SH-60/SH-2 pages I looked at off the
original link, I saw nothing particularly H-34ish.

Yeah, it's a different page on the same site.

Follow the rainbow.
