The biggest mistake that US Air Force Special Ops made was retiring the MH-53J. The CV-22 is great...I like the MH-60s but SOCOM needs the size and space that was lost with the retirement of these helicopters. Want a perfect example of what a modernized MH-53J could have looked like?
Check out what EADS did for the German's with the CH-53GA. This is a work of art.
