Mikester,

I don't see any "gloating", but I do see some foolish generalisations from you:

What a piece of crap!

Let's hope it doesn't kill someone like the other EH-101's have in the past!
The nature of the beast in this game, you will be hard pushed to find a helicopter that has been in service for 10 years or more, that hasn't had a fatal accident. Sikorsky, Westland, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all, I don't know of a manufacturer with a perfect safety record. The S-92 has a lot of admirable attributes, as does the EH-101, and the slanging match between the two has been going on for what seems like years.

That's right, it has been years
