They could start by getting rid of Lakotas... and stop taking Apaches from the Guard... maybe turn MEDEVAC into CSAR.

What don't you like about the Lakota? Now that they are in the National Guard, they are performing many missions the Hueys used to perform, such as search & rescue. With their technology, they can perform surveillance and security operations. I've seen them in action and they still have much to offer.

We’ve got 47s, 60s, and 72s here.. the 72 doesn’t do anything that a 60 can’t do better in most cases. Our 72s spend more time not flying than flying because of parts availability.
