The US Navy ordered and has begun receiving the AW-119 (TH-73). Not the AW-139. Delivery has been behind schedule. I think they are around 21 so far. Maintenance has been an eye opener. And they have yet to begin instructing students in the airframe. Only IP-IP flights. Way too much helicopter for primary flight training in my opinion. Way too fragile compared to what the Bell 206 (TH-57) accomplished.
