Saw an S-92 yesterday
HaveBlue:
Flew over my house at just a few hundred feet, fast as hell... heard it long before it got here and went outside and waited.... flew DIRECTLY over my house from north to south... seen em a couple times and it never gets old to see such a rare sight.

Is that their high-speed prototype?
The one with the propeller in the rear?

No, its their larger adaptation of the Blackhawk series, meant to compete with Sea King / Puma / Super Frelon type helo's for military and SAR missions... but was most famously in the running to replace the S-61's for Marine One... which it lost.
Webmaster:
Sorry, I don't share your excitement, rare maybe (for now), but having become used to Cougars, Merlins, NH90s, Blackhawks and Hips even, I think this is the ugliest helicopter around. Everything seems to be out of proportion, just doesn't "look" right.
F-111 C/C:
