Somehow the concept of "teething" is the issue. You EH-101 fans have a blurry memory of exactly what teething is!
Here is a picture of the 95th EH-101 built, flown 15 years after it was introduced and 20 years after it was flown. Notice how its teeth are still growing in:



The EH-101 has no teething problems, it has mature, proven, fielded problems that do not seem to have an answer. It has crippling inspections, it throws away its tail rotor after 50 hours, yet you silly bastards cover my thread with dumb posts about other helicopters.

That EH-101 crash was 18 months ago, and the "teething problem" is still not solved. Why don't you stay on the topic as posted (EH-101 Woes in Canada Continue) instead of attacking some other helicopter? Is it because you are too dumbstruck at the incredible mistake Canada made when they bought the EH-101? Is it because you know the fix for the broken tail rotors, but won't tell Westlands because you are just too mean? Is it because, if you have no idea what you are talking about, attack something else?

What is wrong with the EH-101, and when will it be fixed?
