A few years ago when they were having probe issues with the HH-60 I tried to preflight the probe when one wasn't installed.
"Hey chief, I'm not getting an unlock light"...."Uh, sir there is no probe installed"
Were you at Columbus in 2009? If not, they got the same guy to do a bunch of road shows. I also heard a joke that some ground forces referred themselves to the 319th of the ground.
Probably in part because they can't fill the airtime with views of the courtroom theatrics. Courtroom sketches and transcripts don't make for exciting 24-hr news coverage.
The quote was in relation to the Arbery case. Glynn County, GA is 70% white and 26% black so the proportionally there should have been 3-4 black people on the jury.
Nobody cares that the PT-6 (which powers nearly ever turboprop it seems) is from Canada. The engines are designed and built in Indy as was previously stated. I don't see how a "foreign-source" protest argument would hold water.
In addition to the C-130 engines, the V-22 engines are also sole-sourced from RR.
Then you're going to have the look-down and clutter issues against the faint IR signature of a single exhaust stack of a GA aircraft. A problem that can be worked but it will definitely decrease the Pk. Not that the 9X doesn't have those issues either (*cough FM33*).
