Too bad Lu can't read.

The statement was "The US Army, with 7,000 helicopters in its inventory, and missions all over the world no longer will buy a skidded helo."

The AH-1 W/Z that Lu refers to is being bought by the US Marines.

The ground resonance Lu refers to is quelled by the oleos, which don't care if they are mounted on wheels or skids.
