Airplanes

I'm not very good at ID'ing transport aircraft or helicopters (I'm much better at fighter jets), but I think that plane could well be a Hercules. I think the dark spot on the wing could be the US Air Force roundel in low vis colours:

Unfortunately, I can't help with identifying the helicopter; sorry!

Not my area of expertise, but the helicopter kind of looks like an Apache AH-64.

Thanks! I can identify an SH-3 Sea King, with a good view of it, but that's it as far as helicopters go! I had a look at photos online, and I'm wondering whether the helicopter might be a UH-60 Black Hawk:

rather than an Apache. To me, the shape of the tail boom and the position of the tail wheel seems to fit the Black Hawk better than the Apache; I could be wrong though!

May I present this as a candidate for the unknown helo,
Sikorsky HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter
Which includes this Flickr album,
Sikorsky Combat Rescue Helicopter

And also present this from an excellent aircraft photo website,
Aviation Photo #6346431: Sikorsky HH-60W Jolly Green Giant II - USA - Air Force

And speaking of Grumman cats and the number 14 ...
The one with the floofy tail was named Grumman after I adopted him from the rescuer.
He recovered from nearly being made roadkill 14 years ago in 2008; took serious damage and kept on flying, that's a Grumman for ya!
