I suspect you'll be logging a lot more sim. time than actual.
And God help us all if our AAVN soldiers ever have to actually use them for a protracted period in a crisis like Australia faced in 1942.

Australia needs:
(a) something that will work
(b) something we can afford to fly and train in
(c) something we can afford to buy in large enough quantities to make a meaningful contribution in the field to all the land units who will require support

I don't think what we have and are getting fits any of those requirements. But golly, they'll look good on the flight line.
