Well this competition has been going on for a while with Bell pitching the 407GX(P) - they painted up one up in training colors a few years back for the NHA fly in at Pensacola. Leonardo is pitching the TH-119K and Airbus Helicopters with the H135. It is a weird one - surprised they are not promoting the UH-72A becauase there are several examples with USNTPS at Pax River. On the army side, its already at Fort Rucker doing IERW.
There is an USN exchange instructor pilot with the German Marineflieger EC135 of MFG-5
So any thoughts or bets here?
cheers
