Bug smashing civilian plank driver here.
Got up close and personal with the MRH90 at ADFA open day a year or two ago.
It looked like a real piece of Gucci gear as they say in the army.
Very flash - lots of composite - nice EFIS screens.
And admittedly with absolutely no expertise whatsoever - my general impression was that a bunch of soldiers and pilots would probably very rapidly break it.
If it didn't break itself.
Sort of like a high end European car - looks great, but you just know the electrics are going to sh!t themselves when you least need them to.
Opposite it sat a Blackhawk.
Old, beaten up - chipped paint inside, steam gauges, and built like the proverbial - but still flying strong.
Just sayin...
