Given the beer drinkers I know, it should be called "Death From Below".... >;)

Helicopters used to be called 'Whirly Birds', indeed I remember watching a t.v. series of that name as a child about a pair of intrepid pilots flying on adventures in a Bell helicopter. This was long before Airwolf and Blue Thunder.
I have discovered there are 57 episodes of Whirlybirds available on Youtube.

I, too, remember watching Whirlybirds on our B&W TV back in 1960 or 61.
Amazing what you can find on YouTube
I remember "Whirlybirds".........................vaguely!
I was young back then..............................

WOW I barely remember that show. Would never have thought about it until you put it up here. Thanks for making me feel old. I was watching an episode of NCIS today and Gibbs found a thumb drive in a cereal box and he said that they are putting decoder rings in cereal again. Everyone had no clue what he was talking about. So if you remember that it tells your age.
Looking at the picture of the WHITE HAWK that is a presidential Black Hawk. They are supporting an air ambulance service so maybe should have a medivac Black Hawk on the label.
According to Wikipedia the VH-60N White Hawk is a modified UH-60A Black Hawk with some features from the SH-60B/F Seahawks. It is used for Presidential and VIP transport by USMC. It entered service in 1988 and nine were delivered.
I often find myself "Sea-King" out a decent beer!

I believe all the helos are flown by the USMC and all the VIP ones have the white job on them. I saw a CH46 that brought the CNO to where I worked and that's how it was painted. Where I live in MD is sometimes see them fly over. One time there were 3 CH-46's and 3 Sea Stallions in the group. Some site to see.
Most of those Hurricane ales appeared in #14 but there was one new one.
This beer commemorates the B-25 Mitchells of 18 Squadron.

I'm glad something new came out of it for you then. I just found them all together in a group.

Is it any better now, Rob?
I see! Rather strange an Israeli beer called Kamikaze!
Much better Dave, but now I can't see this one.
