Fear not. I'm not criticising your opinion. However, timely delivery may be a rather large criteria, given current circumstances.
Unfortunately your opinion as to a Chinook being cheaper and having greater flexibility is insufficient grounds to commit several hundred million dollars of the treasury's hard earned dosh.
I'm affraid that these boards are a tad too full of people like yourself who "
do some Googling" and become experts on the topic. I attempt to refrain if I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I also think you may find that the Mk3s were originally built to US-Mil Specs and that is where the problem started
