possibly the reason that AW are viewed so poorly by many in the military helicopter world.
Mr Crab, me thinks you understate, unless you are including the ex-mil employees who now are AW employees who will obviously have changed their opinion!!!
Having flown it for many a happy hour, you are well aware of the very short comings, if we had the 800s it would be fine as it is. We could do a very good job but that was never going to happen without a massive penalty clause. “oooo, that’ll cost you”
By the way - Does anyone out there actually think that we will not put kit under the seats?
