Narrative:

I reported about 8 mi north of the sikorsky heliport, second requested transition of the jsd class D airspace into bridgeport. This course takes an aircraft over jsd. I was at about 1000 ft AGL. The transition was approved, the tower controller did not inquire about my altitude. About 1 min later, the pilot of a black hawk requested return to 'high hover.' he was cleared into the class D airspace, and the pilot then requested winds. The black hawk flew from west to east, just ahead of me and about 300 ft above me. He then turned south and onto a west heading, into the wind. I maintained visual contact with the helicopter throughout the event. The helicopter pilot apparently did not see me until he turned back to the west. No evasive action was taken. The black hawk pilot exclaimed 'that was special...I don't like them that close.' the tower responded something like 'I don't either.' I then confirmed that the tower had cleared me into the 'D.' he responded that I was cleared, but thought I was further east and higher. He then asked me to contact bdr tower.
