	ShowNews Online: FARNBOROUGH 2004
		Having fought off most of the accusations from certain sections of U.S. industry and political life that their aircraft is some kind of "durned untrustworthy foreign heelocopter," the US101 team has watched in dismay as the VXX program schedule shifted to the right and then had its budget filleted.
		Team US101 is hoping that a VXX victory would give a big boost to its chances of winning the U.S. Air Force's forthcoming PRV (Personnel Recovery Vehicle) competition for a new combat search-and-rescue helicopter.
		Many observers took this hasty postponement as a sign that the US101 was most favored, but that the issue had become too much of a political hot potato in the run up to an election.

	Presidential Helicopter - NOTAM Board
		While Team US101 actually would generate new jobs for Americans by insourcing to the United States production of a helicopter that currently is produced abroad, Sikorsky's corporate parent, United Technologies, is among the most aggressive outsourcers of jobs, sending some 3,000 American jobs to places such as China and Brazil last year alone.
		Moreover, the US101 has demonstrated its mettle in actual combat conditions and has three engines, compared to just two on the Sikorsky helicopter, offering 50 percent more power and an added margin of safety that our president deserves.
		Incidentally, it is interesting to note that, despite raising concerns about international participation in the presidential helicopter program, the commentary conveniently neglects to mention that Sikorsky's offering was designed with the assistance of partners in China, Taiwan, Singapore and Brazil, or that its engines will contain components from international suppliers.

	Battle rejoined between H-92 and US101 on PR
		In doing so the USAF set the stage for Sikorsky's H-92, the military version of its highly successful S-92, and the US101, a variant of AgustaWestland's EH101 being offered by Team US101 with Lockheed Martin as prime contractor and AgustaWestland and Bell as primary subcontractors, to compete for dominance in the North American skies.
		Team US101 has had a team focused on the PRV competition for a year and is confident that the battle proven nature of the EH101 will give it an advantage.
		The VXX win will probably be enough to make that form of attack from Sikorsky irrelevant anyway but if the two helicopters are judged to be close in terms of mission capability political sway could make the difference.
