g33,
No aspect of the S-92 was in any way "grandfathered", including the engine, which was certified to the most current engine standards, as is the airframe. That assertion from HC escaped me if it did indeed appear the first time around. Much of what HC says escapes me, I admit.
Grandfathering is quite OK, but grandfathering and claiming otherwise is not. That is what started this thread.
Mars,
Let's start a new thread, and blow this pop stand.
I will post it now.
