Nice chopper, they fixed the issues then $6B down the drain, another Army success story.

A recent donation include a tube with this poster nicely protected in it....

Indeed the original specification was for an aircraft that weighed only slightly more than the OH-58A/C that it was to replace.
I imagine that did not last past the first reading of the proposed specification. U.S. Army Aviation has a bad habit of ignoring physics when writing requirements.
