I heard about the pictures of the PHI Hydraulic line fire...

It was very small, and apparently the aircraft looks very "ugly" with the firefighting material they sprayed on.

You have to remember EVERY new helicopter has teething problems.

Look at the S-76; it was PLAGUED with problems, engine fires, engine explosions

Now take a look at the S-76... you can't touch it! It's one of the best selling helicopters, and in 2004 Sikorsky sold the most S-76's then ever!

Let the S-92's teething problems play out... in 30 years you'll be wondering why Sikorsky wants to replace such a good working machine.
