UH-72A vs TH-73A
I have never worked on the UH-72 but everyone in my organization that does says the same things about the maintenance on the aircraft being fairly intense. (The fleet is ~180 aircraft used for primary helicopter training) Of course, if the Army had purchased a more modern variant(FADEC vs VARTOMS is one that sticks out) and contracted the logistics of parts supply differently a lot of these issues would have been taken care of, just looking from the outside.
I notice the US Navy did some things differently for their training Helicopter, the TH-73. They got a FADEC equipped, single engine helicopter with a glass cockpit for around half the price of the UH-72A.
So, those that have experience, which platform do you think is better for what the services are using them for: UH-72A(EC145) or TH-73A(AW119)?
Just curious.
