Actually, Mr. A, all hueys and cobras from the UH-1N and the AH-1J (I think those are the right letters) have had two engines. And the new AH-1Z and UH-1Y just being tested now have 4-bladed main and tail rotors and glass cockpits and will be pretty impressive birds once development is complete.
That's not to detract one bit from the H-60 (which my son-in-law flies in Korea right now): the Blackhawk/Seahawk series are impressive in many regards, not the least of which is survivability.

The lead aircraft did enter VRS, but simply landed hard and long with no damage.What is truly amazing is that the first V22 in the formation didn't enter VRS and crash as well.
