All dem people seh! The cost of operating any aircraft in Guyana goes up leaps and bounds due to the costs of "acquiring" parts. Therefore there is no way that the costs on the bell website will suffice in this case. Don't forget costs also multiply in relation to the age of the aircraft as well. As for the rest, unfortunately I agree with Learie on this one, where he may have mixed up the CH46, it looks like his research is well founded. Richard, this is Guyana!! All dem people seh!

Col. Kyte group and this is more than likely an "alias" for defending their/your choices. My associates in the GDF Air Corps have no knowledge of you nor have they ever heard the name. Who are you, how do you know so much detail about the inner workings of the GDF Air Corps. and the budget allocated annually for specific items????? Come on Mr. Haynes we just want the truth. The decision makers made terrible choices and took advantage of a great country ,our country has nothing to show for it today. And Mr. Kyte, very surprised to hear you are leaving the GDF to take up possible employment in the Middle East. How could you leave your country now after all that has transpired?
