VH-71A cancellation
Gents,
Think we need to be careful about the cancellation of the VH-71A Kestrel - it wasn't protectionism, it was that at $400m each (IIRC), it was simply insanely expensive and not even the US could justify this. However, I'm not sure that the KESTREL airframes had a rear ramp, so think that they would be f*ck all use to us, even if they didn't have US engines and systems.
