Just wanted to point out that there are about 3000+ Blackhawks and Seahawks, flying around with main boxes that darn near made it to an hour during the no oil test qualification to meet the US Army 30 minute requirement.
John, we PAX (and I'm sure the Cougar bus drivers) are still waiting with thinning patience on why Sikorsky could not more expediently apply the H-60 MRGB endurance capability into the S92. Surely it's not re-inventing the wheel here, or is it all down to cost?

The current proposed modification sounds to me like a leaf out of the S61 book i.e. aux sump and backup lube oil pump...is that what they call progress in over two and a half years since 491 and over three years since Broome?

Safe flying (with HUEBA at the ready and a suit that will hopefully keep me dry)
