| Notes |
The Longbow was at the airshow not only as a drawcard |
| |
display courtesy of the US Army but also to display its |
| |
capabilities to the Australian Defence Department. The |
| |
Longbow is one of four contenders for the Australian Army's |
| |
new Armed Reconnaissance helicopter, which calls for 20-24 |
| |
aircraft. The other contenders for the contract are the |
| |
Eurocopter "Aussie Tiger" derivative of its Tiger Gunship |
| |
(which was also at Avalon but alas was not there on the |
| |
public days), the Bell ARH-1Z Super Cobra (which was |
| |
supposed to be at Avalon but the sole flying example was at |
| |
Fort Worth for flight testing according to Bell's Trade Show |
| |
representatives), and the Agusta A129 Scorpion, a derivative |
| |
of the A129 Mangusta International. The list will be cut to |
| |
two mid-2001 with a contract awarded at year's end with a |
| |
provisional service entry date of 2003. |
