Hi,

In the brief is still mentioned the possibility for NH-90 transport heli's.
Was't that something from long long ago?
The former MLD (now DHC) NH-90 would be all 20 the naval variant but with mission equimtment for twelve of the twenty airframes?

Greetings,

Henk

It looks like that 'de kogel is door de kerk' they finally have made a decission:

Short translation: Fourteen CH-47F will be ordered with the first deliveries in 2019. They will replace the 11 CH-47D currently in use. These F models will differ from the F models currently in use as the new F models will be part of the existing production/configuration for the US Army and therefore will have a different cockpit for example.

I think this means they will have a different nose lay out as well?
