Good Morning Folks,

Well the fifty year old H-1 Helicopter is being phased out of the U.S.M.C., good ridence.

For the past thiry years or so this has been a corporate welfare program to Bell while it was waiting for its big pay day welfare program called the CV-22 Osprey.

Now that Bell's hands are once again firmly cemented into Uncle Sugar's pocket they can let go of the rice bowel that the H-1 program was.

The cost to the DoD of not converting the Marines over to the Blackhawk and Apache's has be tremdious in both economics and in firepower. The Marines can now come out of the 1950's and into the 21st. Century.

ALLONS,
Byron Skinner
