As the operator of the ORIGINAL commercial S61, my vote goes entirely to Sikorsky.

Superb products. Ideas and concepts that have driven the industry.

N301Y, S/No: 61032, Manufactured December 1960, 40,000+ hours (not the highest time by any count), been an S61L/N/currently an N short. Carson blades next month, making it an S61++.

Having operated Sikorsky, Bell, Aerospatiale, Eurocopter, Agusta, Westland, Kamov products, I'll put my money where my mouth is.

Sikorsky, all the way.

Anything else is second best.
