I think in light of Senior Pilot's posting....there ain't no helicopter AAR capability in the UK Forces....or am I missing sometime obivious?
Nick,
I would imagine you are smiling like the proverbial Cheshire Cat with the news of the trash canning of the VH Contract. The poor old Marine Corps sure knows how to spend money on state of the art aircraft....Osprey, Harrier, now the 101....wonder what is next?
Perhaps some of those billions of wasted dollars could have been spent on up-armored vehicles for the guys and gals in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of being poured down the Pee Tube.
