This is turning into a vs thread, It wasn't my intention. Australia has real reasons to retire the nh90. The AU$50k CPFH is just one of them. However the US replacement isn't perfect either. We will see what the next gen brings.

The MRH-90 has been costing $35,000 per hour to operate. Last financial year that ballooned to $50,000 and it was probably the final straw.
