How is it that when we hear these stories of aircraft not working, it is almost only from the military?
Do they just buy bad aircraft, -or are they possibly unable to use or maintain them properly? Or perhaps after having bought such nice, expencive aircraft, they can not afford enough spares or a proper support contract?
Mostly, the civilians seem to be able to keep the aircraft running, in spite of a few difficulties. I believe the S-92s do at least 1200-1500 hours each per year. That does not allow for much sitting in the hangar.
Do civilians do things differently? Or perhaps they just keep quiet about their problems?
