Go Igor.....

I had the privilege a few weeks ago to be in a spot where a virgin Sikorsky transport chopper was on it's maiden flight for the final fitting for it's intended job of shuttling eighteen cats and their gear to and from off-shore oil derricks south of Louisana.

The pilot of this particular aircraft is the son of a friend of mine and I had about twenty-four hours notice that the craft was leaving the Sikorsky skunkworks in Pennsylvania and might be stopping on dad's property somewhere north of Nash-Vegas, and did I want to come and check it out? Well, hell yeah!

Can you say a Formula One car that flies? Everything you see that is white is carbon-fibre (sex), the green stuff is carbon-fibre kevlar weave (ultra-sex). Everything else is aluminim forgings that are machined, Titaninum, or complete un-obtanimum.

In the pic we see the Guru and Sam trying to figure out how to fire this Sumbitch up without a key.
