They closed it:
Sikorsky Aircraft to close plant near Elmira, cut 570 jobs | syracuse.com

All the Schweizer stuff was moved to Coatsville:

During Heli-Expo, Sikorsky denied that any sale of the LH line was imminent, though not all the journos were convinced.

Ironically (if the rumor is true), Coatesville only just received its production cert for the S-300.



Still you could always buy an AC310 down at Silk Street.

Nice one IC. I like the note that the AC310 is "similar" to the 300C.
