No one can deny the 206 is the best entry level trainer
You must travel in some limited circles.
Other than the 67, how many semi-rigid underslung rotor systems is the Army flying these days, Sultan?
How many steam-gauge helicopters is the Army flying these days, Sultan?
You could make the same argument for the 57 at Whiting and you'd be equally wrong.
Both those machines have been overtaken by technology, no matter how robust the airframes and how good the customer support from Bell.
The entire training model needs to be reviewed, because the 206 variants are no longer cutting it, because you can't train how you fight in them, in any service.
I'm guessing you never worked in a training command, but you've been at Bell a long time.
