a lot has been said about the age of the sea king fleet. 35.
these sea sprites are made from 40+ year old airframes and are now and always have been pieces of crap.
the australian taxpayer handed over more than a billion dollars to its greatest ally for 10 aircraft, can you believe it. our military is the laughing stock of the world. a disgrace.
to add to all of this is the problems with the tiger that are also becoming an embarrassment as we fall well behind schedule on delivery. they don't work very well either.
