Hello John Eacott. Sorry, but do not recall who that might have been. When Nick reads this thread, he’ll surely remember. As to the above Vne flight in the 76, there was some speed record flying done by Nick and friends. I have to retell one neat story here. The FAI rules for speed records provide for keeping the ship within a small altitude band. For one of the records, Bill Kramer flew the ship and was precise enough to enter the run at precisely the upper altitude limit and gradually lost altitude during the run, so as to exit the run at the lower limit, using therefore 100% of the potential energy transfer legally possible. Bill was an ex USAF 53 aviator who was also pretty good with cars. One weekend day he and Nick were scheduled to leave Sikorsky with a 76 for some NBAA event or such. Nick was waiting on our flight field with Gerry Tobias, who was the CEO and the person who had sold the 76 project to UTC leadership, and thus had really personal interest in seeing the 76 succeed. Kramer was late and then appeared driving his car across the flight field at rather too high a speed, going by Tobias and Nick, putting the car into a four wheel drift and perfectly stopping in his parking spot. Tobias turns to Nick and says, “ Nick, is he flying the 76? “. I wasn’t there, so this is another thing that Nick can clear up more factually.
