Following the US Navy model, meaning Hornet, Super Hornet and the F-35 [A model for us] should work. Another two dozen Super Hornets and by then the F-35 might be a goer to provide the next element..

The concept that has plagued us in many recent purchases [MRH-90] is the one cap fits all approach which is supposed to save money/resources. That is totally flawed as has been shown with this helicopter. Finally Navy bought the helo that they need [MH-60R]. Now if only they had a fleet of Sierras to go with them they would be in good shape. Army could deploy their MRH-90's as required on the big boats for troop lift etc,,,,
