Bang on mate. 43 years of product development, maturity and world wide delivery and yet, still a lot of very concerning issues. NH is a cottage industry in comparison to Sikorsky, yet they have similar issues. Perhaps with the 1979 - 2022 maturity of the Blackhawk family, you would expect their issues would be less and have basically disappeared? Maybe it’s a Helicopter thing.
