From what i know we have sold and selling blawkhawks to Taiwan. Thats part of that recent arms deal that China is upset about. Also we are selling AH-1 "used" Cobra's to Pakistan. Pakistan tries to keep there arms buying from the U.S. under wraps. They dont want thier people to know how much they buy from the infidels. They might be including Helo’s with this total.

Just sold 24 F-18's Super Hornets to the Aussies. We also sold 12 F-15SG's to Singapore. C-17 has been a good export for U.S. so far, along with the C-130H's & C-130J's. Since the A400M has been delayed Some Nato counties added some deliveies of C-17's & C-130's. 2009 Pakistan bought 18 new F-16 Block 52's. Also Belarus is looking at Getting some surplus F-16's as well. almost every Nato country has F-16’s. Just sold 24 F-18’s Super Hornets to the Aussies. We also sold 12 F-15SG’s to Singapore.
