So far there's been no word I the 'new" helo replacement for the
PUMA HC2 we modified and as it turned out, saved. The article says they'll still be in service through
2028, however, due to several delays partly to blame on you know what and other factors I feel
fully confident they'll make
2030 as well based on the 2nd Ref. concerning the extension.

(One of the refs. I used at the time. Don where's the time gone!?!)
Since I found that article things obviously have changed Ref. 2 below is saying the competition is still on and a contract is not likely to be signed until
2025 sometime.
