Well folks..... I'm a little surprised.

It's not everyday that a country orders 3.2 billion dollars worth of a
helicopter that theoretically is still on the drawing boards.

I would have thought that one of my fellow Canadians would have thrown
the subject out in this newsgroup.... but apparently not.

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the same model that will be the
next Marine 1.

Unfortunatley my interested lies more in the little machines than the
military models so perhaps someone more knowleable than I might
want to jump in with their comments or information on this machine.
