Well whoever wrote this post obviosly knows absoloutely nothing about
helicopters or their maintenance. Yes they are a very old design but to call
them piles of junk is absurd. They are one of the most reliable helicopters
ever made. They are still in use all over the world flying passengers all
over. They are also used to sling logs off the sides of mountains. Heli
logging places demands on tthe airframe far in excess of any thing ever done
by the canadian military. Yet these sea kings (called S-61) in the industry
do so all day with maintenance performed in the evening and they are ready
to fly the next day. If the ones in the military are being maintained by
"exceptional people maintaining the highest standards" they would not have
nearly the amount of problems the military does. If you want to see sea
kings maintained to the highest standards look to the canadian heli logging
industry. The machines work far harder than any military machine and are
ready to go on time every morning. I think the problem with the canadian
military is bad maintenance. long banmilk wrote in message
