So basically between 2015 and 2018, we will be receiving a cyclone, retiring a sea king? I find it hard to believe that Sikorsky has 28 or whatever number of choppers just sitting idle in hangars waiting to replace all our sea kings in one fell swoop. If they got rid of every Sea King in 2015 we won't have choppers on the majority of our ships.
What a nightmare...the procurement process for the cyclone and the fact that our poor pilots are still flying those bloody sea kings.
