S-76
 

That told them! :)

Very well said helipixman, some people are so self-obsessed and thus struggle to understand anything from another's perspective!

I think they'd be lucky to get their $875K asking price.

But he's famous Gulli, which adds value to the merchandise, Michael Jordan got $560,000 for a pair of sneakers, Darth Vader’s helmet went for $898,420, a General Lee 1969 Charger from "The Dukes of Hazzard," owned by actor John Schneider, sold for a whopping $9,900,500. Put it on Sotherbys. :p

do you know what it costs to remove spray tan and combover oil from upholstery?! :E

Bell_ringer, I'm guessing that's why he's suggesting they would be hard pressed to get the asking price

Well I read this thread because the whole Trump Trainwreck is somewhat entertaining.
I know I want to look away I just can’t.

You can't even buy a used 206L-4 for their asking price for the S76B. Goes to show how whacky the used helicopter market is. It might be a good money maker if you could find a contract for it which has a good standing charge and low flying rate.

I couldn't get more than $350k USD each for a couple of nice low time B models a few years ago, even though they needed some calendar items attended to. I think they went for parts in the end. Anyone who pays a premium because this aircraft was owned by someone famous has more money than sense in this market for a 31 year old S-76B. It's sad, I am a huge fan of the S-76.

Amen, but there a lot of them about, bragging rights I guess, I mean who would pay $96,000 for a pair of knickers (ex Queen Victoria) or a few million for a dress worn by Marilyn Monroe.

"B" banger. Hard to get parts for them. Worked with the lads in Wiking in .de a few years back and they seemed to be the "go to" guys for 76 support in Europe and they really struggled to get parts and were "manufacturing" a lot "in house".

For a small shop it was pretty impressive and their own A++ mostly had more than 20K hours on them.

Never really worked on 76's but in passing to me they all seemed to individual and "hand made". Just sayin'.

That's right. I don't think Sikorsky ever built two S76's that were exactly the same.

S76B
 

S76B - what a machine.
It is a lot of helicopter for the money.
Only made 101 of them so rare😎

Operated a 76B for 6 years, loved every minute. Plenty of power, glass cockpit, FADEC, and the slurping sound of those engines sucking fuel didn't worry the boss.

I heard a funny story quite a few years ago about the Princeof Brunei's 76 and it's Malachite coffee table... Any of the Sikorsky guys know the story that could do a good job of telling it? I'm afraid it's been too long since I heard it to not butcher the story ( of extreme excess ).

Heard say N76DT had a buyer, inspection revealed a shot keel beam. Bye bye deal.
