Not a cent of US Govt money has been used to qualify the CT7-8E in the 101,
I don't know what it was spent on but it wasnt for the engines, as then AW couldnt use the data to sell the installation without US interference
The 101 in the USA was there before the contract was announced in order to improve the flying rate (the weather here isn't good as you know!) so the engine could be offered ASAP to other customers
believe me or Nick, it's down to that again...
