I was going to say that but didn’t want to make anybody angry.

The institutional problems will not be fixed by swapping the airframe. I’m not convinced the institution even has the capacity to swap the airframe.

But, we’ve been around and around this buoy on this forum, so carry on…

Edited to add: actually, I think SKT was referring to the AOPS problems, whereas I’m referring to the Cyclone ones… carry in nonetheless…

Fair point.

How about “a little of column A, a little of Column B…”

Out of curiosity is the AOPS any good even as an offshore refuelling pad or was adding enough JP 5 capacity too much to think about as well?

Ok, I’m confused. It’s got nothing to do with Quebec. The Cobra refers only to the AH-1 derivatives, now named Viper. Given we have no “Marines” to support, we would want the UH-1 derogates, ie the Twin Huey now names Venom.

Baz, read my comment again. I was always referring to the Yankee version of the UH-1Y . It looks like a gray Griffin therefore Quebecers might glance at it and think it was built in Quebec. My last point was that the ZULU version of the AH-1Z would add some bite to a De Wolfe. Which it would as say an armed Recce Helicopter but to your point a UH-1Y would be a better choice

Even aside from maritime operations, we do need an attack helicopter capability.

The UH-1Y (Venom) is not a Cobra or derived from a Cobra, it is the latest Twin Huey.

Does it come with a 2 song play list:

1) Ride of the Valkyries
2) Fortunate Son
