Australian Army Aviation Corps

Transfer ... Tiger, MRH-90 to the Navy.

Interesting. Transfer a Land Manoeuvre asset to Navy?

There would of course be some further training needed for some aircrew because of present differences in flight training arrangements

What training would that be?

So; considering the politicians are presumably unwilling to commit ADF Tigers to combat (regardless of airworthiness considerations or what the French are doing in Afghanistan), then presumably all of the hours and aircrew resources being burned up on aircrew training in Australia are more or less just boring holes in the sky!

Like the Hornets and the recently retired F111...or even like the King Airs.

From an Air point of view, the question has to be asked, how can 3 separate air arms be justified for such a small military?

Perhaps or perhaps not.
