Tank: I'm not sure where you live,but have you ever been stuck in traffic recently?
Have you ever tried to cross this small country of ours in less than a day? Its almost impossible by road.
The reason for the purchace of helicopters,may come as a surprise to many as it has never ever been mentioned anywhere on this board before. To transport the ARW around the country if they are required,and to train troops in operating with helicopters before they go overseas.
An even bigger surprise to most of you here will be that ....there is no intention to deploy air corps aircraft overseas.
In case you missed a memo,the Air Corps do not provide SAR helis to the state any more. It did in the past because nobody else could,but now there are a number of private operators who can do it cheaper(to the state at least) so let them have it.
I'm not even gonna get started on the PC9 debate. Thats a whole other deja vu.
