so what is the actual status of the MRH90 with Army. I spoke to a techo the other week who told me that one "Navy" bird is in Townsville with a trashed floor undergoing major mods and that they have at least 8 delaminating tailboms. He is a Navy CPO [ex-Sea KIngs] attached to Army for amphib help etc. He also said some with Army already think they know about riding the boat and maintaing at sea. Very different ball game to the home drome...

It is very interesting to see Sweden buy M model Black Hawks for combat use and that Norway's NH90's are six years late and they are now looking at Black Hawks and cancelling their order.

Whoever bought these $hitheap$ for Australia needs to be tarred and feathered.
