FMolloy. good point about the jets or lack of which were hinted at by the DOD. I forgot about them, don't know how but I did. Can anyone remember the out come of the court case between Eurocopter and the Goverment. Was'nt it settled out of court, with the basis that the tender would be re-opened and some secret settlement between Eurorcopter and the Goverment was entered into. Or was that speculation at the time.
