It's an MH-60('L' model I think) Pave Hawk

Numbers look like standard mil rego...possibly 26229, which would mean it's the 6229th airframe/item ordered in budget year 1992.

Note the low viz 'star n bars' on the side of the cabin in the area of the reflection below the exhaust, and the small USAF on the boom.

The downward facing turret is a FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-Red) pod, and the larger forward facing pod is probably a TFR (Terrain Following radar). The "long pointy thing" IS a refuelling probe...good pick up Gary!!! LOL

Great pic Gary.
