Bell's concept for MV-75 replacement for both USMC skids. I know the UH-1Y doesn't accommodate many combat equipped Marines. How does that compare to the MV-75?

Some nice footage of the USAF MH-139 - one of the finest military helicopters in the world. Boeing is the Prime for the MH-139 with the aircraft provided by Leonardo and completed in Philadelphia, PA.
Ignorant comments by the poster.
The Joint Base Andrews USAF Continuity of Government mission is currently provided by 25 UH-1N helos, many of these airframes regenerated from boneyard and are former USMC HMLA aircraft. These aircraft will be replaced with 25 x HH-60W reconfigured for high density VIP PAX seating and preserves the LM/Sikorsky CSAR helo production capability. Wise move by the AF.
Leonardo TH-73/AW119 and MH-139/AW139 both lead by a former HC-6 squadron mate and TPS grad. These programs are as American as they come.
