Understood, the S-92A is not a S-64F!

By the way about the plans for the S-92, the VPGlobal Commercial and Military Systems at LM said recently: "There’s obviously been a lot of chatter in the market about the S-92 but what I will say is that we are ready and able to build aircraft when customers want them. We are currently building five S-92s in West Palm Beach, these are of course VVIP and SAR machines and not the oil and gas ones you are following closely. We build aircraft in many places and have previously built S-92s in two other locations. Sikorsky is committed to the commercial business and the order book is open. We are watching the market closely, engaging with our customers, attending events... We have a good aftermarket business." and "We continue to invest in new product performance and safety enhancements including the S-92A+. The demand signal hasn’t been strong just yet and currently timing for the first kits is 2025. As I said before, we are ready to respond when the demand is there, LM is a huge business and can switch on investment very quickly when it needs to. The A+ has some additional investment required to complete the certification."

Many thanks
