Brought back memories Fijdor:

Joining Sikorsky in 1966 , that ship was our chase/ rescue aircraft, having been built for the USAF competition that resulted in the CH-3C. That machine actually was FAA certified ( USAF requirement ). At the time it had sponsons and the aux xmsn lube system. We sold it Grumman for their F-14 program chase and then it went to Carson. Lost track of it after that. Not exactly a spring chicken, but a good flying machine. I remember when we first taxied the initial S-92 around, it immediately brought back recollections of this machine. Thanks for the clip.
