Kincella, I'm no fan of the Federal govt, but the reason they can only have 14 copters at the moment is that these copters need to have the lifting/winch hoist so they can hover and winch people aboard. Not all blackhawks have them plus the weather is so dangerous you need very experienced people flying these machines. But Gillard & Swan and co will look to what happened last time and gain some political mileage after Gillards poor performance in 2011.
