You are correct. The Cyclone seen turning on the ramp and later flying near Shearwater last week was Cyclone 806. This is the aircraft that was "delivered" to Shearwater in May 2011 and which has been parked there ever since. Last week it was conducting post-maintenance flight testing by Sikorsky test pilots following the installation of modified servo actuator valves which failed during an earlier return-to-Sikorsky flight attempt in April. The aircraft was recently safely returned to Sikorsky facilities in the US. There are currently no Cyclones in Canada.
