Irish S-92
« on: March 25, 2007, 07:06:03 pm »
Hi lads,

I was just reading a past copy of "air forces monthly" (june 2002). In an article by Anthony Tucker (Global military airlift) it mentions that Ireland has bought 3 Sikorsky S-92 with an option of 2 more.

What happend to this order?

if any of ye could shed some light on the subject i would appreciate it.  '<img'>

Order and options cancelled due to a legal challange by the unsuccessful bidders,mainly eurocopter.The then us ambassador,Richard Egan, had offered offsets to help win the deal.This work was to be freighter conversion work for TEAM Aer Lingus i think.
   Well thats how i remember it,could be wrong,advancing years and all that   'thumbsup'

You could open a hornets nest with that one. Do a search of the old BB.That topic should still be there.
