We gave up the CH/MH-53 which the Marines have upgraded and continue to use. I guess I have no clue why we won't just go to the UH/CH/MH-60. Somebody is getting kick-backs or a job out of the deal.

I've read that AF CSAR is considering a move to the H-47.. why not just transition the H-60s? You couldn't have a more perfect aircraft for that mission and the infrastructure within the military to support them is already there.

Because the H60 can't reach everywhere a H47 can as easily
