The S-58T is my all time favorite helicopter of the slew I have flown.....absolutely loved the old girls .....just wish Sikorsky could have looked forward enough and reallly devoted some research and capital into modernizing the thing. Good blades, modern engines....a drip pan under the rotor brake actuator....elevator to the cockpit....Sperry three-or four axis autopilot.....what a dream it would have been instead of clattering around in a Brand X whop-whop....martini shaking....sheet metal rattling heap of fecal matter.
