Empire One, you're right, I'm not as sad or knowledgeable as you are as I gave up flying the S-70 over 7 years ago - but I still consider the Blackhawk my all-time favourite helicopter.

For those that haven't seen it, if you ever get a ride, ask to see a max transient take-off power vertical departure....

I understand the S-76 was also originally destined for a moving stabilator (and a two foot higher tail pylon) ...but it was actually found unneccessary.
