In answer to the question: Is the 145 the heli of choice for all ASUs? No it isn't!! Spoke to Manchester chap this week and they are getting a new 902. They are VERY happy with the MD service and informed us that a lot of the so called 'problems' were overstated. We like our 135, its fenestron and servicability. Personally, I will vote to buy another one (like my vote would matter). A lot of units have just got new aircraft in the 135/902 mould. Unless the home office demand a bigger airframe, I can't see much change in the next 10 years.
