Sikorsky is supposedly offering up Schweizer for sale... would confirm rumors since Heli-Expo... anyone know anything?
They closed it:
Sikorsky Aircraft to close plant near Elmira, cut 570 jobs | syracuse.com (http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2012/09/sikorsky_aircraft_to_close_pla.html)
All the Schweizer stuff was moved to Coatsville:

Interesting rumor.

During Heli-Expo, Sikorsky denied that any sale of the LH line was imminent, though not all the journos were convinced (http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/510975-so-if-not-robinson-then-what.html#post7757395).
Ironically (if the rumor is true), Coatesville only just received its production cert for the S-300.

Still you could always buy an AC310 (http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/china-reveals-1-tonne-helicopter-report-362133/) down at Silk Street. :E

Nice one IC. I like the note that the AC310 is "similar" to the 300C.
