Thanks Gnads, it’s not a surprise wrt the reliability & suitability of the MRH90 but it’s a surprise that the Government has acted so early in the life of the type - they are getting serious.

This decision (& the likelihood of the HH-60W variant for the Special Forces) is probably behind the interest in the tanker version of the C130J.
