This information was taken from a report prepared by The United States Congressional Accounting Office (GAO). The report was issued to point out the major problems on the Apache Helicopter. The report was issued in 1990 and reflected the MMH/FH expended on the following aircraft during that time frame.
AH-1W Sea Cobra 15.0 MMH/FH
UH-1H Huey 16.3 MMH/FH
SH-2F Sea Sprite 30.2 MMH/FH
SH-3H Sea King 37.2 MMH/FH
CH-46 Sea Knight 18.5 MMH/FH
CH-53 Sea Stallion 39.1 MMH/FH
SH-60B Sea Hawk 21.0 MMH/FH
I was responsible for monitoring the introduction of tha AH-1J and the Bell 214 in Iran. I spent a month at the opoerating base and determined that each type of helicopter was consuming over 70 MMH/FH.
What's in a number?
