This is a note, to whomever added the roundel for the Serbia & Montenegro (FRY) roundel to this page. Please note, the tailfin marker is a simple yugoslavian flag which has been elongated, but the roundel of the SFRY Air Force was just a red star, white background, blue circle.

I have never read any sources that claim that the SFRY had any intentions of acquiring the NH-90 helicopter. I have heard and read that the Yugoslav air force was considering acquiring a locally designed and built helicopter called the VNH-90, which has no similarity to the NH-90 save a somewhat similar designation. I have sources to back this up. it is a .jpeg file of a newspaper article that I can post here if it is necessary, as well as a model and line drawing of what the VNH-90 was to have looked like. It would hae been basically similar in profile to the Aerospatiale Super Puma, but would have had a cargo ramp at the rear of the fuselage and would have had a five-bladed main rotor. However, there was another plan as some did not feel that the VNH-90 was feesible. Aerospatiale was prepared to offer a license to Soko to manufacture the Super Puma As.332 Mk.II and make any changes they felt necessary to make, such as a rear cargo ramp to accomodate transportation of the UAZ-469. I feel this edit needs to be made ASAP. I may proceed with it independently tomorrow.SAWGunner89 (talk) 03:14, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
