heliav8tor i wish you wouldnt refer to the WAH64D's job as CAS, because if you bothered to look into its role then you would see it is not CAS. But much the same as the good old LYNX. ANTI ARMOUR. As for SH I only wished that the crews would realise that they are there as battlefield taxi's. That is not meant to sound condescendings but truthful. After all it was the army that funded the SH fleet.
as for the date sliping sideways the program is still on course, with boscombe having three aircraft by june00 thats from ETPS themselves.
