The S-92 is a fine aircraft, period. Could it be better? Sure. Time and money will do anything. The undertone I'm hearing here about mechanical failures is the sudden realization that we're just frail beings hurling through the air who have trusted in the best minds available at the time to design this aircraft. That once superior safety edge of confidence of being at the reins of the latest and greatest flying machine has dwindled due to this event. . Could it be better? Sure. Time and money will do anything, but who's got the money to make every part on a helo to a 'space quality standard? A field rep was once asked by a military maintenance test pilot who was tired of having to do so many test flights following blade replacements in the desert environment why, a blade's manufacturer couldn't develop a leading edge coating that would thwart erosion. The rep responded by saying there already is such a coating, diamond dust, but the owner of your helo will only pay for wood pecker lip dust.' Everything has a price including an individual's trust versus need to hurtle though the air to make a living…or serve one's Country. And for most of us, it still is a choice YOU can freely make. Drive home safely tonight becuase for most of us, that's the most dangerous activity in our daily llives.
