“Lakota” timeline out to FY-19

Fort Rucker, Ala., Army aviation base spokesman Lisa Eichhorn said there is a plan to integrate Airbus Helicopters’ UH-72A “Lakota” into the helicopter training pipeline, but the timeline ranges out to FY 2019 - meaning TH-67s will remain a part of the training fleet for some time, although Bell Helicopter no longer makes TH-67s and repairs have been an issue.
