I nearly fell off my stool when I heard that a captured Argentine Puma has been pulled out of a museum to be refurbished for operational use. Its a low hours airframe for sure, but isn't this going a tad too far?
I dunno, ask the SAS about their Agusta A-109s ...
ZE410: Argentine Army A.109A serial AE-334.
ZE411: Argentine Army A.109A serial AE-331.
Then there was the TPS-43E, SkyGuard etc etc....
