Sikorsky S76B
Anyone know of any companies in Canada that operate a B model? A surprise to me was the B model does not hold a Canadian Type Certificate. Comments?
How can you tell which one is the pilot when you walk into a bar?....Don't worry he will come up and tell you.

Re: Sikorsky S76B
Answering my own question here. After talking to a rep from Sikorsky apparently there were no Canadian operators interested in the B model when it was produced so they decided against filing the paper work to have it certifed in Canada. On a side note, the machine has loads of power but the C of G envelope is very small and the aircraft has a tendancy to be tail heavy. I guess a common theme is the baggage compartments in B models are immaculate. As they never get used!!
