First delivered S-92 was not PHi aircraft

Last week Sikorsky put out a press release to say that the first S-92 for PHi was expecting to be in Lafayette by the weekend, and it would soon be plying its trade in the Gulf of Mexico (hurricanes permitting).

However, the first S-92 delivered was flying in the UK on Friday..... and is a corporate aircraft. That is backed up by the "Certificate Issue Date" being listed for this aircraft on the FAA register, but not for either PHi aircraft.

Oh, you want to know who the customer is, do you??? Well, remember that shiny black S-61N G-LAWS with the full leather interior.... Yes, Leslie Wexner has replaced it with S-92 reg N908W. Seen at Stansted on Friday, and Birmingham UK today, presumably interlining with his BBJ.
