    I'm pretty sure there's no more UH-1N West selections... But yes, that is how our selection card is. When I selected a while back, there were 10 choices and we had to put them all on our card, in order of our preferences.

    Currently selection choices (as of a few months ago) are: UH-1Y West/East; AH-1Z West; AH-1W West/East; CH-53E West/East/Hawaii; CH-46 Pendleton/Okinawa

    The last few classes have been heavy on shitters.

    Are they sending Echos to HI now? I thought they were getting Ospreys as they phased out the Ds. But my info may be dated.

    Not sure about the Osprey. The most recent plan was to send Echos to replace the Deltas, a guy in my winging class was the first guy to actually select 53E's Hawaii.

    The plan calls for a skid squadron to head out there too, but we will see...

    Ospreys replace the Deltas.

    Sorry, I mistyped. I didn't mean that E's would replace the D's. Just that D's are going away, E's are going to Hawaii and I was unsure of the Osprey plan.

    The people making the "Osprey Plan" are unsure what the osprey plan is.

    Except HMH-463 which is transitioning from D's to E's.

    That's no joke. The AVPLAN has had more red ink on it in the past year than a fucked-up flight schedule.

    No joke. It's un-possible to keep up with the changes. Your best bet is to go -60S or 60R.
