This isn't based upon any news or fact its just me daydreaming and taking a break from my diss.
The Sea Kings are wearing out, slowly. What would people think to a V22 based replacement? Good modern technology, and the Speptics love'em in Iraq and they'll soon be in Afghanistan. Fast, further transit, VTOL, 22 loaded troop capable, and most importantly considering Afghanistan, has excellent Hot 'n High capabilities.
It's beside the point i guess cause we'll end up holding up AW and buying Merlins instead.
