The article mentions they fly BlackHawks.. but I'm willing to bet they're not your garden-variety BlackHawks.
The 160th SOAR's Page: http://www.campbell.army.mil/units/1...160thSOAR.aspx
And their recruiting video (where "modified helicopters" is one of the captions): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxeiG8IGN1c
I'm sure whatever special modifications they have aren't shown publicly for a reason.
