its already ground, they grounded it next day. The issue is will it be permanent or temp grounding. Rumors I have been hearing is that 5th aviation was already winding down the MRH-90 concentrationg on the CH-47 and AW-189. With blackhawks starting to arrive this year for 6th out of holdsworthy and starting to prepare the base and facilities for 1st aviation converting from tigers to apache and moving from darwin to townsville where they will be based with 5th aviation
