'unexpected' and 'unspecified' discoveries
One can imagine that following on from the 92 events that Sikorsky may be a little reticent in broadcasting problems encountered. We have lawyers to thank for that. I wonder what it will do to the confidence of operators, and more importantly the crews that will fly it, not knowing the issues involved. I remember living through the BBQ plates, overspeed issues and spindle problems of the A which engendered a feeling of uneasiness.

Still, have to say the 12,000 hours I spent in the machine were the best spent hours ever, but then I never got around much. Lovely machine.
