The USAF is trying to end procurement of the HH-60W, turns out it wasn't suitable after all. Planned to end at the funded 75, instead of continuing to 113 but over-ruled by Congress which added funding for 10 in FY2023 and prohibited using the money to shut-down the line. Subsequently the AF has again requested zero funding for the 60W in FY2024.Simultaneously the USAF is looking at potential upgrades for the 60W fleet since the systems that were baselined in 2012 are now considered inadequate.Perhaps they should just sell the fleet to the RAF as the Puma replacement and buy the HH-47...
