According to the FAA, its a 1981 model, but with Arial engines rather than the 250c30 "granades", so an A+ or A++. Anyone remember the issues with that engine in the S-76? My 'ol man DEFINATELY turned wrenches on this ship, and I think I've seen it torn apart in LFT once or twice. Pop was with PHI from 1970-2005.
Actually the name is now just "PHI, Inc." not "standing for" anything...because PHI does air medical, GOM (Gulf of Mexico) other foreign and Antarctic missions, so "petroleum" was no longer representative of their mission statement.
Those things hover so nose high..It has to be a pain trying to see what the hell is in front of you while slowing.

S76 A/B/C and coming D look pretty much the same. The differences are internal (engine type, instruments, EFIS, IIDS etc.
A++ has auto-hovering system good for SAR.

No it's not... Some 'heavy metal' for the helo world would be a Sikorsky CH-53E or Mi-26...
