Impressive Sikorsky S-92.
HM Coast guard use the Augusta-Westland AW-139, but when its compared to the S-92 its nothing in comparison! The S-92 looks like it can battle the high winds and seas and they will be really rough in a few weeks again after all this heatwave ends, but the ability to lift more than a small group of people is a great asset for the Coastguards?
Most nations around the world will have a variety of helicopters and aircraft to undertake air operations, including mountain rescue and other incidents where several people need to be removed or the terrain is remote, isolated or rough?
Having this ability is vital in the field of SAR and the British Isles I think is well covered now with what it needs? It is not clear if the AW-101 Merlin has been adopted for this role or is just an RAF transport helicopter?
