So they have two choices.

Change the ship heli-decks, while they are still in the design stage, so that they can take heavier machines......

Or, take 412's from Bell and always leave 900 pounds of people and/or fuel behind.

Mind you, why would you ever want lots of fuel in a ship based helicopter????



I'm thinking, giving the Canadian Govt's track record, that 412's are probably going to be coming. And then not, and then coming again, and then not, and then maybe, but should we run the competition again just to be sure??
