Oh no. Who mentioned Puma 2?!!!
An ‘upgrade’ of a changing number of airframes, for more than a new SuperPuma/Cougar cost at the same time.
But EC shone through with Makilas like we had in ABZ since the early 80’s, South Africa and Portugal had since the 90’s. Sprinkle the 90’s vintage Collins MFD255’s that had been in 532 and 155 since late 90’s and an EICAS screen from the 225. Not sure where the MGB came from but hailing that as they did as some form of triumph….. WOW!
At least it was better than the CRT’s we had in the L2 before the MGB’s started breaking up and revealing their hidden gems. Sorry, thread creep but you see how Aerospatiale, EC now Airbus have history with poor value and MGB’s made of toffee.
Whilst Leo are better in some respects to balance out we have 189’s offshore also where the MGB claims of being ‘run-dry’ are manipulated description of a system with a gravity fed additional reservoir. So it’s never running dry.
