61143 was definitely built by Mitsubishi as part of a grander agreement that never materialised. She was issued both a Sikorsky and Mitsubishi serial number, and continues to operate under the Sikorsky S/No.

The oldest commercial S61 is 61032 operated by VIH. She was the certification prototype and is still flying - currently in Angola.
