“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’...................

Those morons will ruin all the equipment that Bidet left.

Only the stuff that they haven't sold on the black market yet.

That’s the first good news of the day!!! Hopefully the bad guys keep on crashing our 80 billion dollars of equipment in piles of junk!

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