After all it's only taken what.... twenty years, one cancellation,
one 500 million dollar penalty, four sitting governments, two political
parties and a partridge in a pear tree to finally settle on a make,
model, and actually sign a contract.

They call it the Sikorsky S-92 and I do believe the military version is
still on the drawing boards.
I have a picture somewhere of, IIRC, a mockup of an S-92 at the 1995
or 1996 Ottawa airshow. IIRC (again), one of the reps said they were
trying to sell it as a replacement for the Sea Kings (or was it the
Labradors?).
Maybe I need to look for that picture...
