Let's just pray we get some! They have been so stingy with them that I'm afraid they are on to us--and might not give us the "good" ones anymore... :o

It's a Sikorsky CH-60 Blackhawk chopper.  Could be any number of NATO countries.

DH says it is a Blackhawk helicopter, but an export version. He says the military refer to this version as the S70. He's busy searching through the NATO sites to try and pin it down. He also says that it couldn't be any from Guam, although the color is correct for the Navy and/or AF.

Be back with more soon! Love being married to a guy with military knowledge!   :hearts:

I'm guessing it's a statue of soldiers (epaulets on the left shirt). As for the helo, could it be tied in to the rescue caps? There's a variant of the blackhawk called the seahawk.

These may be Tanzanian wood carvings--"Tree of Life"

Quote
Makonde carving is probably the best known art work produced in Tanzania. This art is produced by the Makonde people of southern Tanzania, and their material of choice is African blackwood, or mpingo. Their work is both traditional and contemporary, reflecting a tribal past as well as modern response to urban life. They utilize their tribal myths and stories as inspiration for the masterful work; one carver, for instance, specializes in ghost spirits and clouds. Animal statuettes, and human and demon-faced ceremonial masks are common.

Mpingo allows them to achieve the incredible detail typical of their work. The image* at the left (click it to see a 108KB GIF image) is called the "Tree of Life" which depicts the members of an extended family, including past and present generations, gently supporting each other, generation after generation, around the family ancestor. This motif speaks to a common human ancestral heritage–all that we have achieved collectively in our various civilizations has been literally built upon the backs of those who came before.

"Tree of Life" carvings can be as large as six feet tall, encompassing the work of one carver for at least nine months. They exhibit an intricacy of design and detail which would not be possible to achieve in a wood less dense and strong than mpingo. The most famous outlet for Makonde art is the Mwenge market in Dar-es-Salaam, where shop holders either buy a finished product, or buy semi-carved pieces or raw timber and pay carvers to work on-site. A large statue is often sold for an initial price in excess of $1000, but it can bring the purchaser three times that amount when resold in a more affluent country. The statues are found in art collections worldwide. A recent exhibit of African art at the University of Virginia Bayly Museum highlighted several pieces of Makonde work.

Spruced up for the tv show?  :snicker: Peach, I think you've got something there. When I googled for "heena" (henna), I got a few hits for Zanzibar.

Zanzibar would be great, but I'd be perfectly happy to go back to Tanzania at all!

Henna hand painting is common in India, Pakistan, and Northern Africa....but I had mine done in Luxor! ;)

One of the 10 locations that I predicted could be the missing pit stop between MAPUTO and WARSAW is Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. Since GEORGIAPEACH has presented the Tree-of-Life information and since I know that Dar-es-Salaam is a major seaport capable of having the type of fish scenes we see in screencaps, it is logical that Dar-es-Salaam could be the 6th pit stop. The presence of Masai and other warriors hours away in the bush also lends some credence. Fish scenes also fits ZANZIBAR, but the handicrafts and Masai proximity are not as good a fit for there.

I see an eating challenge happening if it is Dar-es-Salaam. Information on food there is:

Most establishments serve Tanzanian barbeque, including "Nyama Choma" (roasted meat) and "Mishkaki" (Shish Kabob) which are barbequed and served with salt and various hot peppers on the side. A number of restaurants specialize in traditional Indian or Zanzibari cuisine.
