Didn't really see a thread on this so here we go! I guess its not so popular because only Canada operates it.. but why they chose this instead of more Merlins is beyond me... 82% grounded due to cracks :eek...

I'm painting the art for the Sikorsky S-72 X-wing. Which aircraft’s landing gear (undercarriage) was used for the S-72 X-wing landing gear? It seems to be similar to the Sikorsky S-70 (UH-60 Black Hawk ) in terms of wheels. Sikorsky S-72, SH-72J_JMSDF , UH-72J_JASDF , VFH-72N, fanart...

I'm trying to compile a list of failed export orders over the years and right now I'm currently on the Sikorsky S-70 Blackhawk. The series starts at S-70A-1 which would be the Deserthawk Saudi Arabia ordered, the S-70A-5 for the Philippines and then the S-70A-9 for Australia, but what about the...
