im not sure about the uh-60's, they're getting older/mature stage now, and i dont know why we always choose yank companies, why not Eurocopter? buy some tigers, cus they're cheaper, newer(and look cooler) and we can get some economic benefits too. If more European companies invest in Canada (and visa-vera, the less we'll have to worry about when the yanks starts to become bankrupt (they are in big debt, which will catch up with them (and hit us hard too)) soon enough. plus there's a Eurocopter facility in central Ontario (dunno wat it is). Or we could buy some russian Hinds, ya they're old, but we can ask the Poles for some help with them about desert ops (Poles use em in Iraq). i can see the need for an attack/escort chopper, but i doubt we'd ever buy them, its all about the public, i think ppl will see them being some sort of killing machines or something, and wont buy votes at all. but i cant wait to see the forces 15 yrs from now....good/ok air mobility, gd oil rep.,.....and 1 or 2 working-ish condition OLD subs. they'll probably buy some chainguns off a blackhawk and put em on a chinook.
