I thought Eurocopter was gonna develop a CH-53 class chopper…..what happened?

I’m sure had she actualy gone into service….and survived the 1st year…..the Germans would have realized the complete unsuitability of the 109 for shipboard operations and equiped a variant of the FW 190 for naval service. On a related note……would GZ have made a good commerce raider? I’m thinking……..no.

I doubt the UK would allow the sale of “navalized” Hawks to Argentina…….and would move heaven and earth to block the sale of Grippen “N”s……..which would probably cost right up there with the F-35 once the development costs for such a small number of a/c were taken into account.

The search was called off today. Crew and plane missing.

It’s all Bush’s fault. If UK would simply cut ties to the Bush(fascist) administration………and accept sharia law………and ban all religions but islam…….then there would be no terrorism in the country. Simple.

I really wanted the AN-72 to win…….
