New S-61 Helos for the US Government

The State Department sold most of their S-61's in 2016.

That's surprising, as they were ramping up their fleet quite significantly in 2011 I seem to recall. They had about 30 under contract, and were authorised to buy 110 of them.


Any word on why they retired them all so suddenly?
