S-92 “Legacy of Heroes” to visit Thailand
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.’s S-92“Legacy of Heroes” (LOH) helicopter will visit Thailand this week as part of its world tour, continuing to demonstrate the aircraft’s capability to customers while saluting first responders in the Asia region.
The Thailand trip will feature several demonstrations of the aircraft for customers. The major sectors of the Thailand military forces fly Sikorsky helicopters including the Royal Thai Army, which flies the BLACK HAWK helicopter; the Royal Thai Air Force, which flies the S-92 helicopter; and the Royal Thai Navy (RTN), which flies SEAHAWK and S-76helicopters. Sikorsky helicopters operated by the Royal Thai Navy recently supported the RTN’s efforts during serious flooding, as well as during search and rescue efforts during the devastating tsunami of 2004.
The tour’s stop in Thailand follows a series of successful visits in Asia that included Malaysia, Brunei, and most recently, Singapore, where the LOH helicopter was featured on static display at the Singapore Air Show.
To date, the LOH helicopter has flown more than 100 hours on the tour, with approximately 43 of those hours spent in Asia.
