Lockheed / Sikorsky
Reuters reports (4 Nov 2015) that Chinese regulatory approval has been received for Lockheed, United Technologies to close its acquisition of Sikorsky deal this week.
A good deal for Sikorsky employees / customers? Senator Chris Murphy (Connecticut, Democrat) thinks so.

I doubt that Lockheed bought Sikorsky for the Schweizer line! I hope they will sell the legacy Schweizer stuff to a small company, maybe Piper or something similar.

Oh jeez, don't tell Stinger... 
(LockMart needed anti-trust approval from eight nations in which the two companies operate, including the USA, EU, Japan, RoK and China. Sikorsky's Chinese entity being Shanghai Sikorsky Aircraft Co.)

Just out of interest how much did Sikorsky buy Schweitzer for? What is it worth now?
I have thought for a while that if you put the certified Schweizer dynamics in a more aerodynamic fuselage you would have a great training/personal helicopter with good performance and a relatively low certification burden. Everyone loves the way the 300 flies, it's just too damn draggy.
...PPRuNe Copters Inc?...

Not really the same is it different blades different engine designed as a 3 seat trainer for US mil contract to have 1 x instructor and 2 students on board. So 3 sets of controls hence wide cabin same as 480 ! Surprisingly 206 won ???

Air to air refueling? Looks more like an air data boom to me. That was the manned firescout prototype.
