Baha, I think you may be confusing KAMAN Helicopters (U.S. company, part of Kaman Aerospace, founded by Charles Kaman), with KAMOV Helicopters (Russian company, now OKB Kamov Joint Stock Company, founded by N.I. Kamov and Boris Yuriev). Kaman's only current helicopter is the SH-2G Super Sea Sprite, all their other work is subcontracting. Kamov is building about 4 or 6 current models including the Ka-50. Or was that just a typo...? -- Michael C. Berch mcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
