So, does the January 28th announcement that the Marine One fleet will be replaced with the US101 mean that the H-92 is no longer in contention for the Marine Corps contract? Or does the USMC maintain a separate fleet for routine use? Geo Swan 20:56, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

There is a paragraph that has been commented out in the main article, that reads, in part:

...the S-92 Superhawk is an obvious choice for the Canadian Air Commands deployements aboard Canadian Naval ships especially the fact that the S-92`s cabin is high enough for the crew members to stand upright (a luxury on long missions) unlike the EH-101.

Well, both the EH-101 and the S-92 have cabins tall enough for the crew to walk upright. This was a requirement of the helicopters to be considered for selection. It is the H-60 Seahawk that lacks a cabin large enough to walk around. If it is an official requirement, it is not a luxury. -- Geo Swan 21:32, 2005 Feb 28 (UTC)
