[simpits-tech] S-76

[Brian Sikkema]

Heh, I didn't realize what the S-76 was until I checked out this link. 
That's the same type of helicopter the local millionares (the DeVos and Van 
Andel families - AKA the guys who own the company formerly known as Amway) 
have. Funny story, though, their old helicopter (cant remember if it was the 
same type or not) is currently sitting at the bottom of Lake Michigan. They 
had it rigged up with emergency inflating pontoons, just in case of a water 
landing. Well, they had an emergency water landing, and right after they got 
everyone out, one pontoon popped, the helicopter flipped over in the water, 
the other one popped, and down she went. A sad waste of machinery, but 
amusing nonetheless.

Kel go here and email the guy with your request for cockpit photos and he

this page.

This second link is on the Sikorsky site and although dark does show the 
layout in some detail. It's also relatively large at over 2000 pixels wide 
by 1400 tall and is 280Kb in size.

Hope this helps.
