SASless did you train on the Mattel Messerchmidt at Fort Rucker?? Out of interest up to the point when the Th-55 Osage variant was retired, wonder how many of our Army Air Corps exchange folk at Fort Rucker flew , instructed on it during the 70s/80s?
Also re the delivery the other day of the first Airbus H135 to the Spanish AIr Force training school, I remember it was 3 decades ago that they operated the S300 for primary flight training across their armed forces with the Sikorsky S-76 for advance multi engine training.
Hellenic Army Aviation and Turkish Land Forces also use/used the TH300 as i recall...
cheers
