The S61 can keep going safely so long as the airframe is free of corrosion and cracks and spare parts are still available at commercially acceptable prices. Helicopters tend to become difficult to support technically which makes them too expensive to run, thats what usually kills them. Remember, there are still Bell 47s flying daily.

S92, depends what you want in it. Offshore, $19m SAR $25m.
