Ok, Ok, Ok
I have to take a hit on the BFA decision...however
1. There will still be a over 4 year capability gap between the withdraw of the H Model (and Bou) in terms of Airlift. Here is hoping the MRH 90 is being sorted out as well(we are trusting you BluenGreen!!!!).
2. The funding isn't in the budget.
I'm not sure as to why it is to be based at Ric. I would have thought at least Amb or Tvl co-located near the Army would have made sense with the Js remaining in Ric. I would have thought that would have been in keeping with a need/desire to move North as well.
All in all, thank goodness the deal has finally been 'done'. Even better if the US finds some money and comes back to it as well.
