Shot of the new Sikorsky 9-92 Helicopter
Took this pic about an hour ago down here in Key West, Fl where were shooting a Vin Diesel movie called "The Pacifier" its of the new Sikorsky 9-92 helicopter. Its one of a kind and the newest, and most advanced helicopter in the world. After we're done with it, its supposed to become Marine One for the President.

Cool helicopter. Now, what's so special about it?
Isn't it risky putting the POTUS on a brand-new helicoptor? I'd much prefer a time-tested design...

Don't know much about it, or helicopters. Let me clarify my remarks, its the newest in their fleet, which hasn't been unveiled yet (they say) by one of a kind I meant the interior appointments, leather, wood, very plush. Oh, its not a 9-92 its a S-92.

I just did some reading on the Internet about it... pretty sweet machine. Apparently, it has multi-redundant systems and is very safe (with crash protection too). It sounds like a good replacement for Marine One.
