Multo Rapido Sea King ???????

I had the opportunity to fly the AS 61N1 Silver in 1982 and we were scooting along at 144 knots but the collective was under my armpit, the Tq was 86% (max Cont) and the thought of that horrible gearbox would be too much to bear. The CT 58's were sucking up so much fuel you could watch the gauges fall before your very eyes.
