He makes a good point, especially when platforms run through the Pentagon and FMS cases.

They have their own delays.

Yes, Fort Erie - a lot of stuff is “final assembly” and “completion” but still, it counts.

Canada actually does heli stuff very well! (Mods and new build manufacturing)

I agree about streamlining the ops for different government branches, something the US does well with Blackhawk, C130, etc.

H135 is through Allied Wings, so unfortunately separate due to procurement differences. Airbus helo’s are final assembled in Ontario.

Probably H135/145 made in Ontario. It’s far superior to anything Bell has atm.

IMO CBSA/RCMP needs a UAV platform for border patrol operations instead.
