Going with the Seahawk helicopter is a fantastic idea, they're a very popular aircraft worldwide, especially in the US, and are from the same family as the Black Hawk, meaning parts should be widely available for a very long time.

The Airbus A320 series is another good choice, a popular aircraft worldwide, with hopefully good parts support decades into the future.

This should avoid a situation in the future where we end up flying an aircraft type that only a few countries operate, and maintenance is a nightmare.

Well better this than some ferries we can all use I guess.
