This aircraft was on the news this morning (In Connecticut) about a rescue of Two Sailors off the Columbia Bar. I was going to report the new color scheme right now, but you got the poop ahead of me.

Outstanding color, but I would like to see it in the flesh, because on the TV screen it looks closer to Orange, as in Artic helos.

I work at Sikorsky.

enjoy

Lucky you, Tommy!

I applied once for their IT department not long after I graduated college but they had only wanted IBM experienced people at the time.

Over the years I've gotten to know a few people who either work at Sikorsky or have relatives that do. A recent benefit for such acquaintances resulted in me getting a CH-53K 'First Flight' ball cap.
