Amazed that this government actually made a decision regarding the military, but then again it involves touchy feely stuff (Search and Rescue) so they can feel good about it while still pretending they care about our Forces. I was looking briefly at the two front runners and on first glance seem a little surprised they went with the Airbus product over the Alenia C27J which seems to be almost a miniature C130 and looked to have a lot of common features and items from the Hercs so some possible commonality but what do I know. I'm just glad they are moving ahead with these one way or another.
