Walter Boyne was on my local TV news yesterday morning.  He's the (cough) former director of the National Air and Space Museum.  He has a new book out about helicopters.  Apparently the gist of it is that the U.S. hasn't done anything good in helos in a long time and he considers it "a shame" that the helicopters used in the bin Laden raid are based on 30+ year-old designs.  He cited things like the cancellation of the Comanche and the presidential helo fiasco.  He also considered it a shame that the Black Hawks had "bolted on stealth."


There you go.
