There is a lot of whinging about the S92 on this thread. Mostly, I guess, from non S92 operators. Just about all the S92 SAR pilots are very pleased
with the aircraft. The nose up attitude and the poor seat do not seem to be a problem, the only area that is different from exisiting SAR aircraft is the rotor wash but there are ways around that and, after all, it is a big aircraft (AUM upto 26500 lbs). There is always resistance to new things but if people that think the S61 or Sea King are so much better because "we have always done it that way" need to pull them selves into the current century, the S92 is new technology. We could always go back to a single engine aircraft with a 100ft winch like the Whirlwind!!!!
