Good to hear that a few fixes have been devised. I'm still not convinced it will work for Army (though I hear from Navy mates that they are happy) but I hope it does. The same issues affecting the Seahawk also apply to Blackhawk. Right now BH availability is dwindling to the point where currency training (not just for aircrew, remember, their whole job is moving soldiers) and deployability is severely restricted. The MRH is not coming on quickly enough to fill the gap and is not yet up to speed.

WRT battlefield airlifter, I think it's fair to say that we have little to no tactical airlift/airdrop capability anymore. Our sharp end is becoming very blunt indeed...
