Thread creep amber caption - Although the USAF CSAR community are very pleased to be getting the 47F, some have no problem admitting there are situations where it will be either too large, or too much of a physical target compared to the HH-60. The only point being that just because today's situation calls for bags of lift and torque into mountains above 10 grand with air supremacy an assumption, that might not always be the case, and a mixed fleet gives you infinitely more flexibility. Despite Tony's best efforts, we won't always be fighting in Helmand.
