USCG MH-60T Update

[ChuckMK23]

Interesting article on USCG approach to longevity of its Jayhawk fleet - I believe a number of those airframes came off Foxtrot line?

Basically replace the core airframe with new metal, use existing dynamic components, hydraulics, electric, avionics, etc.

New production stripped airframes being delivered from LM Sikorsky. Assuming these are off Romeo line?

A good number of these are converted HH-60Hs. All but just a few of HSC-84-85’s old aircraft are, or will be, 60T models.

The cool thing is they come off the line as a zero hour aircraft.

Believe this is done in E-city. They will literally take any hulk and turn it into a flying aircraft.

They roll that odometer back just like the used car places right outside the base that say “we finance E1 and up”.

Why yes, we do have a 2017 Ford Mustang GT that we can get you in today, at only $24,000. With interest, after 84 months it will only cost you $84,500.
