I believe Mr. Coyles' very accurate description of the original situation was referring to the MH (NSA) portion of the original 1992 contract... the NSH portion was slightly less combobulated. At any rate, despite the support difficulties, the Canadian SAR Cormorant fleet's outstanding SAR record at extreme ranges and in some of the most dreadful conditions imaginable stands on its own. I find it impossible to agree with you that the 101 is a financially ineffective white elephant in the SAR role.
