noooby said this about Hawks, "Because it is an old unreliable piece of pooh"
Nice thoughts but the enemies of the US have found out otherwise. About 50% of the aircraft in Iraq, and 60% of the aircraft in Desert Storm have been H-60's, including ALL airplanes, helos, and blimps. They typically amass about 60% of the combat flight time of the combined air fleet, as well. That is because they work like horses. The typical US Army availability is over 85%, and many units have 90%, because it is relatively easy to maintian.
If you think Hueys are better, you have had your head in the sand for about 25 years, and frankly, know little about combat helos. It is like comparing Hummers to Mini-Coopers, on every possible attribute.
