Re: APC Development and related topics.
Well Done! Unfortunately I have no prize to give you but, then you are about the CORPS! I have so many numbers running through my head but of the 185 or 245 HELOS that will make up the USMC AH-1Z most will come from existing AH-1W helos converted over which of course will end that series. It's on my work list as these are just about to come on line and have only been certified operational last month upon completing op evals. There are of course new airframes as well being built; project to be completed by 2021. And you know I always have my documentation ready. And again I say what more fire power is needed for troop support? As a side note (And to stay somewhat on topic.) the EFV seems to be in major trouble, I'm following this closely, they've already probably lost the F-35C, but I know where along with India they can buy more Harriers next year that have just been fully upgraded within the last year. All I'll say is "May God Save the Queen!" also on my work list; it's just dam... I of course mean a darn shame.
Again well done!
Regards,
Pat

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Don,
AH-1W were fielded in 1985 and is currently the only one being fully flown at this time by the CORPS. AH-1Z will be fielded by (Will recheck my other sources if sooner.) July 2011. I'll give a ref here, more refs will be on my list I'm working on very slowly while I'm taking a break.

Going to put further responses on the "HELO game related" thread, otherwise will wait until my work on patch list page 3 is ready and requested for.
Have think about lunch and get ready for work.
