BI....correct answer....just like the UH-72 Lakota for the US Army.

Which of course you knew too...correct?

Aircraft procured uses limited to training and liaison type flying do not have the ballistic tolerances and other military combat related standards.

So equating the 135 and 145 to being the same as Combat Spec aircraft is flat wrong.

The US Army and Navy have used civilian standard (meaning not suitable for combat use) aircraft for training but limit them to those duties as they are not fit for the more arduous conditions that they would encounter during actual combat operations.
