They wined & dined the right appropriation committee members  W/that pooch! They already have the Osprey that is way more capable then Valor, not to mention the years of growing pains $$$$

Yup, one very specific retired aviation general made his millions so NOW the Army can go find an actual training helicopter. Heard recently the Army's realized the pricetag for the amount of XMSN and engine overhauls coming up for the 300+ Lakotas at Rucker (all at once) and they're putting together a committee to finally find a designated training helicopter.

Yeah, what's the per flight hour cost of an EX145 vs a Bell505... Gotta be ridiculous with the number of aircraft they fly
