When I was at Sikorsky, we were making/re-working over 150 helicopters a year.
With the helicopters, we had to put "torque time" on the aircraft before we DD-250'ed (bought them). Nine hours for each H-60, twenty-five hours for the H-53's. We also flew deliveries when required. Torque checks ensured the helicopter was go to go.

How does the old joke go: They drove me to drink but for me it was only a short putt.
