El Cheapo
Now Sans,
Your quote: " Bottom line is the C-2 isn't an el-cheapo stripper UH-60 at $20 million a pop " is a bit off the mark.
Actually, the available international version of the UH-60M is $14.5 per unit. Glass front office, Dig map with world wide data base and a coupled autopilot that makes approaches to an automatic hover hold in anyone's back yard. Essentially, a 60M without the military radios.
And it carries the M777 155mm howitzer, just like it's hugely more expensive V-22 counterpart.
Just saying...
Thanks,
John Dixson
