Pfff... we're getting ripped off. We don't need fancy helicopters like that! The UBC Engineers are working on a self-propelled helicopter (powered by the sole occupant's pedalling). I bet they could build those for a couple G each... what more do we need?? <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/wink.gif' alt='Wink'>

[QUOTE BY= Stymiest] I believe the EH-101 was a better helicopter and it should of been purchased in the first place. Some people withint the forces still feel the EH-101 is a more capable machine then the H-92. Who knows how much the libs got these for though. <br /> <br />[/QUOTE] <br /> <br /> Well the newest helicopters we bought are variants of the EH-101's so far they have been grounded twice that I know of. Their maintenance hours to flight hours is something like 22 hours for every hour of flight. They claim the Sea King's is 30 hours and the Sea Kings are 40 years old!!! <br /> <br /> Do you believe the EH-101 IS A BETTER HELICOPTER BECAUSE YOU SUPPORT THE LYING CON SERVATIVES! <br /> <br />LOOKS LIKE IT TO ME!

[/QUOTE] <br /> <br />Dude i support the EH-101's because they are combat proven and are state of the art. I don't bring politics into my military views because I think bringing politics into the armed forces only lowers force capability.

I think politics and local contracts own the day on this one. <br /> <br />I too favoured the Cormorants, if only to punish the U.S. for our softwood-dispute. <br /> <br />50 EH-101's for the same price as 28 never-built-before Sikorskys if a much better deal. <br /> <br />This being said, apparently our Sea-Kings were great for their time, considering computers were not involved in the design process....they also don't fall out of the sky any more than a U.S. Black-Hawk does, so you know, helicopters are always dangerous.
