I personaly think that the US101 (EH101 made by Lockheed) is the best suited to the job with the H-92 in close second. I don't think the Chinook should be allowed to enter simply due to its age (almost as old as the good ole' USAF!! :shock: :o:huh: ) What do you guys think? Or is there one that isn't in the running but you think should be?

 

EDIT: Darn, I meant for the title to be CSARX instead of Csarx <_<

For those of you that aren't familiar with it, CSAR-X stands for Combat Search And Rescue and the "X" means the USAF hasn't decided which helo to choose as the sucessor to the aging MH-53 and MH-60. There's currently a competition going on to determine which heli will be chosen.

I believe that it is actually the HH-47G. I guess the NH90 could be an option but for some reason, Eurocopter didn't enter it. Oh, yes the HH-47 F&G are "new" but the design was made in the late '50's.
