Tynecastle: You forgot the S-76's which burned to the ground due to rotor brake problems. Since two 101's were lost due to rotor brakes, Nick really should take these off the list of rants against the 101 as the Sikorsky's design team's record appears to be comparable.

Nick and your echo's: You all missed some of the reports from the tour where the RAF crew simuilated the loss of an engine during climb out, continued the climb, completed the pattern and landed with no one noticing. With Nick's recent blowing smoke that "CAT A don't matter", I assume that with those tightly wound rubber bands on the 92 if one breaks down you go --rapidly. Three engines are nice do have their benefits.
