If so, the Ns will receive upgrades, the same way the Spanish Navy upgraded their N models a few years ago, and as the Canadian Army is upgrading their Bell 412s?
Or will the UH-1N be phased, and maybe the UH-72 or H145 fill up the rest of the fleet?
Heard a rumor that the UH-1N is getting extended yet again, not that they are getting upgrades. (Why USAF didn't replace them with Blackhawks remains a mystery to me, but I guess the USAF has their reasons).
