[anglomanii]

seriously though we would be looking at atleast a 3year build time for any new models (if its not a "cots" system)

hehe?

besides i dont subscribe to all those industry papers for nothing you know.

Why does it look like someone took a sledgehammer to the dome thingy in the third picture? :O
Other than that I can't wait to fly this.

ok this is a great ref for any future explorations on any thing eurocopter, i am sure if there is any thing else about this unit the the knowledge base that is available on this forum will set us straight.

i wont make anymore comments on this one for now, i dont want to kill the poor boy.
just have a look at the 3d flight sim and the virtual tours.

very big thanks to the French DGO for all their great work.
the tiger ARH is now considered the most advanced variant of this FOV currently available.

i currently have the DMO public paper on this item and am reading it through.
it is not a light read.

I have to say mate your one very odd customer. However since your quite the data mole and extremely useful when it comes to getting accurate information from multiple reliable sources I think we will let it slide.

Yes multiple reliable sources take that your wikipedia weekend warriors.

dont know if this has been worked on since this last skin, but to be honest it shouldnt be very dirty at all, it would be my understanding that since we have so few of these beasts, any that we actualy do send into a combat zone would be very very well maintained, and the colours on the real thing are alot brighter but then again that skin was made aloooong time ago so wat do i know

[anglomanii]

ok latest real world news.

Tiger ARH has now got all its certification submited, only waiting on final sighnoff from the COA.

[Sgt.Trip]

these will hopefully be deployed to the ghan sometime next year or year after! so they wont stay all shiny and new... and there is a few now in darwin that the paint has faded enough to make them look weathered and not so bright!

[-=Rhodesy_77=-]

wow you mean we are actually going to deploy some heavy assets? :O

the next few years will be very interesting indeed.

We might not deploy heavy assets. I believe it's going to be dependant on what Holland does.

[Sgt.Trip]

well word in 1st avn regt is they will be deploying as early as next year...

when the dutch pull out, ADF will need escort for the ch47's.

[Chilidrew]

That looks amazing!

[Truism]

It's when the Dutch pull out now?

Jesus, I need to read more papers.

[chambersAUS]
