THE S61 - Most beautyfull helicopter ever build

[@johnn278]

Beautiful aircraft, my favourite rotary wing aircraft. The sight and sound is very very familiar to me from growing up in Penzance where they were used for 50+ years to fly people to the Scilly isles

Nice chopper 🤗

Long live the Sea King. Many folk owe their life to this airframe. The waters of the north Atlantic are cold.

[@SimulationandAviation]

Totally agree Ade 🤗💪🏼

[@adelarsen9776]

And long live DK, Faroes and Greenland. Skål

How to hear brake sound when you interrupted with your horrible announcement.

[@cartapax5077]

I flew this a lot in FS 9. One of my favs along with the A109.

[@SimulationandAviation]

Oh yes. This a fantastic one. What version of the 109 are you using ?

*Beautiful

Without floatation devices? The S-61 is never truly "without" any floatation devices. It may not have floats on the tires but underneath the fuselage of the helicopter is a boat designed bottom specifically for floating on water.

[@SimulationandAviation]

I tried a couple of times to be onboard while floating. A very special feeling :) I just love this chopper.

많은 사람을 태울수 있는 구조용 헬기가 최고 입니다

A nice video, with some good examples. You do need to include 'Sikorsky' in the title. Spelling: beautiful, EFIS (capitals), wonderful, flotation, spacious.

Hej hej er der nogen der ved hvor i verden at man stadig kan komme ud og flyve med en helikopter S 61 Sikorsky!? Eller større som turist ?

[@socaljarhead7670]

The S-61 has been involved in some of the most horrendous losses of life in the history of rotary wing aviation. The two Los Angeles Airways crashes (in the same year) and the infamous Pan-Am Building incident are the ones that immediately come to mind.

The Lebanese Republic purchased 3 used Sikorsky S 61 to fight forest fires. They were hardly ever used and now the Lebanese State is selling them for Cheap. Was it a huge commission/ riddled rip off/

[@SimulationandAviation]

Hmmmm. Nice. It is a brilliant helicopter. Has been operating a lot in Greenland as well. No helicopter is as cool as this one :)

[@omnivora1465]

Autorotation

[@SimulationandAviation]

Nope, but it will look the same. Almost 🤗 Happy new year
