Lockheed / Sikorsky
Reuters reports (4 Nov 2015) that Chinese regulatory approval has been received for Lockheed, United Technologies to close its acquisition of Sikorsky deal this week.
A good deal for Sikorsky employees / customers? Senator Chris Murphy (Connecticut, Democrat) thinks so.

Oh jeez, don't tell Stinger... 
(LockMart needed anti-trust approval from eight nations in which the two companies operate, including the USA, EU, Japan, RoK and China. Sikorsky's Chinese entity being Shanghai Sikorsky Aircraft Co.)

Value
Just out of interest how much did Sikorsky buy Schweitzer for? What is it worth now?
I have thought for a while that if you put the certified Schweizer dynamics in a more aerodynamic fuselage you would have a great training/personal helicopter with good performance and a relatively low certification burden. Everyone loves the way the 300 flies, it's just too damn draggy.
...PPRuNe Copters Inc?...
