Whats wrong with our helicopters?

[SBeck]

The CH-47 Chinook is a venerable helicopter with a long history (it is the fastest helicopter in the U.S. Army inventory) and because these workhorses are used under extreme conditions they will break from time-to-time. Unfortunately and sadly, the consequences can be deadly and devestating when they do.

That was what came across my mind. We've had a dozen of them go down in the past 6 month. At a cost of $.....never mind it's the taxpayers money.
