The Kingdom of Jordan, a U.S. major non-NATO ally, is set to receive a $21 million UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter later this year.
The aircraft, purchased through the Army foreign military sales program, will undergo VVIP (Very Very Important Person) modifications and will ultimately be used to transport Jordanâs King Abdullah bin Hussein II and the royal family. The pending modifications are being completed via direct commercial sales with Nebraska Gas Turbine Inc.
King Abdullah II is a member of the Hashemite dynasty, the royal family of Jordan since 1921, and he is a 41st-generation direct descendant of Muhammad.
