Might have a chance renamed the Boeing 380 to go with his new EH 101 helicopters.... sorry Lockheed Martin VH71s.
Now what ever happened to the MacNamara-izing of aircraft designations? We all saw how the bombers are no longer in the B-70++ designations, nor fighters in the F-111++ range (with the notable exception of the F-117, now obsolescent, which wasn't really a fighter but rather an attack velicle).
But helos progressed for a while through single digits (UH-1, H-2, SH-3...) then reverted to the old series (CH-53, ... OH-56...UH-60... ) and now we have the VH-71.
Who is putting out these nonsystematic designations, and who do they think they are fooling? (Wait, wait, don't tell me...)
