If you’re in the market for a new ride, there’s a unique item available for purchase in Alabama this week.

GSA Auctions, which offers government-owned surplus property, is listing a Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk Medium Lift Utility Helicopter.

The current bid for the helicopter, as of Monday morning, is $250,001. It is located at Guntersville’s Ace Aeronautics.

GSA Auctions regularly offers castoff items such as vehicles, meals ready to eat, small equipment, machinery and aircraft.

The Black Hawk, named for a Native American leader of the 19th century, is a twin-engine, four-blade helicopter that has been used by the U.S. military since the late seventies.

You can find out more about the actual aircraft here.

If you’re interested, you’ll need at least a $100,000 bid deposit, and a plan for taking possession of your property.

“Successful bidders are cautioned that they will be responsible for loading, packing and removal of all property awarded to them from the exact place where the property is located,” a warning posted on the webpage notes.
