jimbo2181 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Purely a rumor (but this is what this is for) I've heard from a very unreliable source that customs is losing all their fixed wing for rotorcraft. Now I am guessing that if this is true at all they would keep the P3s but just looking to see if anyone else has heard this. Quote
Heli-Ops Posted October 6, 2003 Report Posted October 6, 2003 So if they lose their fixed wing who takes them over then. I have visited a number of Customs units around the US and the fixed wing and helos work as a very cohesive team and cant see how taking one away would benefit. For example in Miami they scramble the Citation or CHET to watch the inbound suspect aircraft and then once a determination is made as to if its a bad guy or not they will scramble the Blackhawk for the apprehension. Cant see how they could do the same job without the fixed wing assets. Heli Ops :devil: Quote
