If we look forward, this conversation will go somewhere. According to my alphabet, M is further on that A and the M Blackhawk is quite good. Saying that a 1976 ac isn't OK, is like saying Ford are no good - they improved (sort of!), modernise and stay alive. Forgive me if I am wrong but aren't we just into Puma 2?
Embrace change and try to get something to work, not just put hurdles in the way, that is what the MAA are for. Can you still believe that we are so tied up in how not to let PEDs into our aircraft yet ANO Jo can do pretty much what he (or she) wants!!!
Lets get real and actually do the best with the little beans we have; PU, Wc, Gz, possibly Me are all destined to vanish in my opinion and the 3 will be left as stated before.
