My first reaction was the same as Big Mikes. Why not the Blackhawk? Its so versatile and more practical than the NH90. The 90 is a huge aircraft, great for SAR offshore but still 'new' and largely untried in comparison to the BH. Why don't the airforce ask a couple of us civvys for advice on a machine? Look at the ballsup with the Kaman and the Tiger in OZ. Change the vote: go the Sikorsky.
