How strange! why decommission it?!,if there's nothing to substitute with. if it works even nowadays for civil mission,doesn't it proof that it's resource isn't exhausted yet.Yep in military sphere Pave low's and Ch-47 have assumed the heavy load carrying missions,but non of them are so perfectly designed,directly for heavy loads,and non of them have such perfect construction and shape.It could be easily developed as a modular platform helicopter with various cabins for different mission.
