[QUOTE="jackwolf, post: 49764, member: 735"] This is a topic that I thought would be more prevalently represented. I'm sure other people, hopefully operators, know something. I intend this thread to actually be informationally geared, if it turns out that no one knows anything new or those that do can't post it, then I say by all means lets make it an opinionated discourse! CSAR-X info according to the internet, interpretted and recorded here: The contract was originally intended for combat search and rescue. It was priority #2 according to the AF leadership. The main competitors were the Boeing HH-47, Lockheed Martin US-101, and Sikorski HH-92. Boeing won, but there were concerns, lodged by the losing competition, about the aircraft meeting certain varied requirements. (The most interesting, although not the most important, perhaps, of which being it was a heavy lift bird competing for a medium lift contract) The contract and competition has been a long road to nowhere since: Defense Secretary Gates cancelled this item. The current fleet of HH-60s is getting older and noone is promising to replace them. [/QUOTE]
