Cyclic Hotline,
I wonder if the Lockheed and Agusta folks know how many helo drivers laughed over this release!
The typical flight in an S-76 or S-92 across the country requires a toothbrush, a gas credit card and a few charts. I flew in one day from Pittsburg to Leadville Colorado and on another occasion from LA to Cleveland. The typical coast to coast trip takes 2 RON's, and down the coast is a 1 day jaunt.
I guess we have to learn to call them "self-deployments!"
