Agreed Sir X_man. If that is the criteria for selection of the SAR Helo, MI-17 is the best choice. One important thing you missed. It can be converted into a flying ambulance. complete with all neceaasry electronic lifesaving equipment.

Bell 412 and AS 350BIII Ecurieul are for Army. Lama and Allouette IIIs are being phased out. PAF still has Allouette IIIs as SAR helos. MI-17 cannot be tasked with dedicated SAR duty. It is a heavy lift cargo/transport helo. Due to its sheer size (bigger fuseladge, increased rotor diameter)...

I donot understand that why PAF is investing this money over the structure monitoring of aircraft. As this whole thread indicates, three main causes of aircraft crashes emerge as follows: 1. Engine failure (which leads to failure of Generators, Hydraulic system for flight controls etc)...

whatever it is, note US Air Force written on it
