The Embassy's Foreign Commercial Service, Office of Defense Cooperation and Defense Attaché Office worked with United Technologies to highlight the arrival of the Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopter in Poland.  On August 30, Ambassador Victor Ashe hosted a reception for several hundred Polish Government, military and business officials at which the Black Hawk was showcased.  A special guest, Sergei Sikorsky, the son of aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky and retired Sikorsky Company executive, showed a short film "Memories of a Pioneer" about the birth of the helicopter.  The Sikorsky Black Hawk will soon be produced in Mielec, Poland.  The Black Hawk will also be on display at the 15th International Defense Industry Exhibition to be held in Kielce, Poland on September 3-6, 2007.  The United States will serve as the Lead Nation for this year's event.
