".......where you got the idea that the AW101 is probably the world's best SAR helicopter from - was it an AW press release perhaps?"
AW releasing anything useful or relevant? YGBSM.
No, not from a release, just from talking to Canadian operators who seem very pleased with it, availability aside. And they do have a lovely new shed to make up for the spares they didn't buy.....
The Danes seem to be pleased, too, now they have finally got it into productive service.
