Blackhawk is bad design. So many have crashed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Something wrong with it.

I was wondering if it had something to do with the location of the corporation in CT.

Truth be told, I think the president should be on a US only built chopper.

Actually, it's worse than that......the Blackhawk already had it's chance as Marine One. They had some outfitted to become the presidential helicopter......and one of them crashed in testing......so they stuck with what they had.

Sikorsky should have seen this one coming - they had their chance already.
