The ID of which shall remain nameless, actually while we are at it.. There is a conflab in Ireland over the purchase of new Helicopters for the Irish Air Corps, The Sikorsky S-92 order has been cancelled after legal complaints from Eurocopter that the competition for selection was not fairly held. Apparently Sikorsky were alledged to have offered unrequested offsets.
Now, why do not the IAC follow the lead of TAM of Brazil and say 'you want us to buy YOUR Product' then 'you have to supply an Aircraft to our museum'....
