So tell me about the commonality of the Lakota to any other helicopter in the US Army Fleet of Aircraft.....or any other Branch of the Military for that matter?
Now if you were referring to Black Hawks then perhaps you would have a point.
We are not talking about a complex aircraft here....they are Jet Rangers no matter what the Army calls them.
Are the aircraft being replaced any more unique than the 72's in reality?
The 72 program was a Rum Deal to begin with and has not gotten any better over the Years.
