Shame because a lot of people enjoyed watching it come and go. Always funny watching a big aircraft taxi out on wheels. Rick gave me a good walkover the aircraft and explained all the systems and would hate to be the guy that has to hand carve all the rotorheads out of the big block of metal

When doing a walkaround its easy to see the family resemblence on ideas from the CH-53, Blackhawks etc. Love the luggage space in the back and the way the sponsons have been designed. Good luck with the program, it looks like it should be a winner.

If I remember correctly isnt the S-92 the only aircraft, apart from the S-76 that has been specifically designed for the civil helicopter industry, apart from specialised aircraft like the Kmax etc.
