“I’m sure that maintenance and training comes into play here.”
Undoubtedly. I am firmly a fixed wing guy, but work a lot with rotary people. I think it’s something like 8 hours maintenance for every hour flight time for essentially any helicopter.
Probably 1/3 to 1/2 that much maintenance for even the most advanced fighters, excepting some of the exotic stealth stuff.

Yes, I wish more were dead. However, that Blackhawk cost us between 6 -10 million. Think of the total price of all the equipment our idiot in chief left there.

One does not ‘fly’ a helicopter.
One simply keeps it from crashing between points ‘A’ and ‘B’...................

The odds of a Taliban opium grower being able to pilot a Blackhawk helicopter is directly proportional to the Pushtu tribe he is from.
