I've always wondered - why do some CBP have N registrations and others are BuNos?

Funny thing is, they have had the helicopter for quite sometime now. This photo was taken back in March. How would you like to see that in your rear view?

Some are retired from the Navy. Most are the rescue choppers you see that are staying in the air for safety while the aircraft launch, or taking SEALS into Hussein's compound!

American aero registrations begin with "N".

ICAO Aircraft Regis. Prefix - CountryCodes.CO

I have never known US Customs to use aircraft "Used" by anybody. Maybe something relatively new
from an asset seizure, but a used Blackhawk, I doubt it.
