Cran, just a small point - the squirrel will fly in manual reversion without hydraulic servo assistance just like the Gazelle did although it is not a very pleasant experience and a running landing is the preferred option. I believe the squirrel's hyd out handling characteristics were the reason the Australian Army didn't select it as a basic trainer.

Crab,

I think the Oz army utilise ex-RAAF AS350's as ab-initio training helicopters (although I agree not by choice). Graduates go onto Kiowa (B206), Huey or Blackhawk later.

Cheers.
