Wow.
That is one big bird! Looks good too.
Yeah I've read the reports that the schedule is slipping. Yeah I know they still have yet to deliver on the plan to reduce the cost of the thing...
But I do know (now I do) what's happening to the current fleet of CH-53E's and it's essential that they get this thing moving and moving now.
Do I care if LM sells some to the Germans or Israelis? No not really. Another couple dozen won't make a difference.
They've SOMEHOW raised the number of airframes requested from 200 (that the GAO questioned) to now 225.
I can live with even that.
All I want is a sense of urgency from Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky to fix whatever problems is causing the delay, a vigorous push from the Deputy Commandant for Aviation and the issues that we're seeing with the Wing cleaned up ricky tick quick.
