This S-92 is our #4 ship, which did the European tour (Paris last year, followed by England, Ireland, Scotland, Scandanavia, Finland, thence back to the US).

It is now modified a bit with a rear door and longer internal cabin, decked out as the VH-92 demonstrator. It has a full VIP interior, TCAS, EGPWS, Wx Radar, as well as an on-board LAN so you can cruise the internet (wireless) while flying, a full video conferencing capability via SATCOM with a tracking antenna (I think its the first such installation in a helo) and a command center for placing the calls.

With extra attention to creature comforts, it is the smoothest and quietest aircraft we have ever measured.

The golf course picture was taken last summer at a resort near Houston TX where we hosted some folks to have a demonstration flight or two.
