    The Air Force is dramatically scaling back its plans for the MH-139 Grey Wolf helicopter, cutting its projected fleet from 80 to 42 aircraft and reducing the number of bases that will host the new chopper.

    Quote:

    To accomplish such a reduction, the Air Force has decided to only field the MH-139 at its three ICBM bases:

    • F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyo. 
    • Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. 
    • Minot Air Force Base, N.D. 

    All three bases will still get their originally planned 11 helicopters, added the spokeswoman. Malmstrom just recently received its first MH-139, welcoming the Grey Wolf on March 9. It is slated to receive its full complement by the summer of 2025.
