It's a Blackhawk, Brian ...

The US Army had it right when they named their helicopters after American First Nation tribes.
The US Air Force, bless them, will insist on giving their aircraft silly nicknames, often ignoring the official 'reporting name'.
This is just the latest - taken to the ultimate level of stupidity by making an annoying and often confusing nickname into an official designation.
I could cite several examples but the informed audience need no reminding of them.
Don't their armed forces branches ever consult each other?
