Any bets on who the front runners are ?. It's been more than 20 yrs widgeon. The BO105 purchase was in 1986.......so that's 26 years Quote Link to post Share on other sites

helikenny 7 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Internally, we're hearing the 145T2 will be a major consideration...........both politically and practically. Tho 105's have been around since '85 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThreePer 38 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 T2 you say? You would think politically they would pick something with Pratts instead of Arriels. EC135P2? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thekingshead 0 Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Then there was the current Harper Government, ask CHL what they think? Wonder whats looks the best travelling back and forth across the country on the back of a Gooseneck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skidkicker 3 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I hear the OPP are not happy at all with the EC 135's. The aircraft is OK, just not for their specific use. Its all a political game, l hope the one who is making the decision has touched a cyclic before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
