A crew of talented pilots and maintenance technicians is having an amazing adventure, flying a new Sikorsky S-92 all over the world to showcase the helicopter’s search-and-rescue capabilities. The trip is called the Legacy of Heroes Tour, and the mission is “to celebrate everyday heroes and touch the lives of the people they serve and protect.” Of course, if Sikorsky persuades a government organization or private operator to buy an S-92 or two, all the better.
But meanwhile the crew is having a great time showing off the S-92. Production test pilots Joel Vigue and Jamie Wittmeyer, crew chief Chad Phillips, quality assurance representative John Bainbridge, avionics expert Adam Gosser and aircraft manager Jean Schryver have been traveling with the S-92, keeping it healthy and demonstrating how it can add to the more than two million people already saved in Sikorsky helicopters since 1945. You can read their account of their adventures on the Legacy Tour website.
