Stick, Stick, Stick....... You got a lot to learn about Helicopters. The Private Sector uses what is readily available. Kawasaki was smart when they bought the CH46. Unlike Erickson when they bought the Sky Crane and didn't opt for the $1.5 million in tooling. Had they been smart they would have paid happily and probably never would have had to gone into Foreclosure.
To prove your statement wrong, Life Flight Networks has very very deep pockets. Yet they have operated and bought some POS's.
