How handy would 5 or 6 Iroquois be for exactly this type of work. Invaluble.

Several mentions this thread re a Bell 412 operated by Army Aviation; yet this media bit on 6 July 2010 said 5 Iroquois were being retained for training purposes: Army Iroquois choppers become national treasures - Defence News - Department of Defence

Can somebody please explain?

I know one of those 'training aids' (A2-279) is sitting on the firepad at the Raaf Amberley fire school. Sadly, I think in the name of 'training' it's going to get torched. Damn shame.

National Treasures, yeah right.
