DDSAF gets first Halogens

The DDS Air Force has received the first 20 of a huge order for over 300 ex-HCSAF CH and MH-26 Halogen helicopters. The Halogens have been drawn from the HCSAF's reserve/attrition stocks and are all mid-life airframes with a good 10-15 years left in them. CAC performed a clean-up and some DDS localisation before delivery though the DDS themselves will upgrade the communication, EW and IR/EO systems at a later date.

In other DDSAF news the last 2 VC-20 transport aircraft have been retired following the delivery of more CAC built transports.
