The U.S. Navy reported that its first student class began rotorcraft training in the Leonardo TH-73A “Thrasher” this month at Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Florida. A military version of the AW119Kx, the TH-73A will replace the Navy’s current training fleet of Bell TH-57 Sea Rangers for basic and advanced IFR rotorcraft training. Navy instructors began training on the AW119 and then the TH-73A last year.
