Dont have to be a patronising asshole. The first of the blackhawks will be delivered this year why bother trying to keep flying something that is already on its way out. Why continue to fly something that in 12 months will be gone. My personal opinion is that they will permanently grounded. 5th aviation will continue to operate Ch-47 and its 2 AW-189. I know 3 5th aviation pilots, of course I haven't talked to them because they are out on exercise, i think this is the nail in airframes coffin
