The 145(th) UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter was delivered to the U.S. Army on
Sept. 30. It is the first of three UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter cabins
produced by the Polish facility to date for use in UH-60M BLACK HAWK
helicopters built at Sikorsky's main manufacturing plant in the U.S.

"The first aircraft sale with a PZL Mielec cabin is a significant milestone in
the growth of Sikorsky as a global leader in the aerospace industry and a
continued commitment to meet the requirements of the UH-60M program supporting
U.S. Army fieldings," said Doug Shidler, Vice President, Army programs.
"Sikorsky is proud to be a global sourcing leader. This third cabin source
allows us to meet the growing U.S. Army and Foreign Military Sale customer
requirements for the UH-60M helicopter."

The cabin was initially delivered to the Sikorsky facility in Bridgeport,
Conn., where it was joined with a cockpit manufactured by Kaman in
Jacksonville, Fla., and a tail-cone produced by Turkish Aerospace Industries
in Turkey. Final assembly, flight operations and delivery were completed at
the Sikorsky facility in Stratford, Conn.

"The delivery of the first BLACK HAWK helicopter to the U.S. Army with a cabin
produced in our facility is rewarding validation that, with the guidance of
Sikorsky Aircraft, PZL Mielec has been transformed into a world-class facility
capable of producing BLACK HAWK helicopters," said Janusz Zakrecki, CEO of PZL
Mielec.

PZL Mielec was acquired on March 16, 2007 as part of Sikorsky's efforts to
increase its presence in the international marketplace.

Recently, PZL Mielec began final assembly of the first S-70i(TM)BLACK HAWK
helicopter, marking the beginning of a new helicopter in the Sikorsky product
line, an international version of the BLACK HAWK helicopter. Final assembly
officially began on Aug. 17. The first S-70i helicopter is expected to be
completed in late 2010.
