Sikorsky stuff

Nick Lappos,
Strangely and purely coincidentally I have seen a few of your "recent" Sikorsky products flying.

S-92 - lurking around North County FL.

Comanche - in Ft Lauderdale down by the dock in SE 17th St. Attraction was the noise of a S-76. Turned out it was a B model riding wing to the Comanche. It was masking the Comanche noise - was like watching a SF movie.

The best of all though was the "Fantail" S-76 at Paris Le Bourget in about '90-91 or thereabouts. Now what were the figures - 105 knots to the left and about 95 knots to the right. Flat pedal turns at about 120 IAS. Eyeballs were on stalks!
