Should be an interesting competition with two hybrids in the running.
I bet no matter what they choose as a Blackhawk replacement it won't be on time or under budget!
Im assuming it will have to be air transportable like the '60s so will be very interested to see how they would stow the wings and tail for a C-17 trip.
Self protection will be a bit different too, no door gunners like the '60s. That's an absolute must-have but not shown in the photos.
Should be a great competition!
