Christ, Colin:

You got the specifics on the aircraft types and quantities before we did !

Further, but not yet announced, we're probably going to buy some Chinook choppers from Boeing.

These are heavy hook logistic helicopters which, during our Liberal military budget slashing spree of the early '90s, were sold to the Dutch, who are now using these same aircraft in guess where...?
