Hi guys,

The Air Corps Sikorsky S61N had the civil reg EI-CXS and was initially delivered to the Air Corps on the 13th Jan 2003.

It arrived in Sligo on Thursday the 8th May and as far as I am aware, the crews are supposed to be working up and will assume SAR duties from the Finner Dauphin sometime in June.

The helicopter is on lease from CHC Ireland with Air Corps pilots but it will be maintained by a civilian crew.


Regards,

Frank.

a good and large helicopter for IAC it's better for sea operation and enough places for rescue a boat
one question , the iac choise the color or it's color contractor , because the color are becoming the color for coast guard operation ( norway or US coast guard )
a gret day for iac , the weather in altantic near ireland is not the best one

frank would i be right in saying , EI-CXS was built in 1978
and that the last of the S-61N 's were built in 1979 . some were also license - built in italy , but in contrast to the age of the A 111's , she is still relatively new.i think she was in norway with CHC reg LN-OQU  '<img'>

Hi Batafada,

I've no information on when EI-CXS was built, and I'm not sure about it working in Norway.  I know alright that it came from there before service with the Air Corps (CHC do there heavy maintenance there) but it had the reg G-CBZK.

Frank.
