Oh, cool! Thanks for catching me up.
I had heard rumors about that roughly 10 years ago from a friend in Huntsville, Alabama, but as I amn no longer in the job that afforded me those contacts I had lost touch.
Here's a thought: you can fly a Blackhawk with a complete electrical failure {1} (granted, it's a real pain in the butt).
I wonder if you can do so with a complete electrical failure if it's FBW.
Any ideas?
{1} (One should be able to get power back on using the APU generator, in most cases, but if both main busses are fried one can still fly it).
