Also, the EuroCrap175

Nooby, because the EC175 is a POS.

Actually Sikorsky ain't seeing quite the same growth because their helicopters just don't cut it.
Like the AW149 you mean (how many sold after five years, a big fat zilch isn’t it?), or how about the Deadcat AW159, good for hauling "blueys" and little else from all accounts.

In addition to these iconic platforms , I take note of recent comments on Rotorheads suggesting the AW189 SAR variant may not be on the ramp at Inverness when the shouts comes in on day one from those in mortal danger.

Should this turn out to be the case, would you be so good as to join in the spirit of ‘April Fool’s Day’ and re-post your anti anything other than AW comments above.

And whilst you’re feeling bitchy, how about you wade into the YUH-60A thread and tell us all how crap the Blackhawk is, the saviour of many a wounded British serviceman out in the Stan and ‘The chariot of choice’ for air transportation of British flag officers in country.
