When I was the Chief Government Test Pilot at the Sikorsky factory in Bridgeport, CT, my Sikorsky counterpart was a guy named John Dixon. John was the original test pilot on the S-67.

What a pilot...flying with him was simply an incredible experience. He has since retired.
I understand that the "negative collective" was locked out on the S-67 for anyone but a couple of pilot's, Dixon must have been one of them.

There's a factory film of the S-67 floating around somewhere, I saw it while in a school at Fort Eustis. I'd love to get it posted to youtube.
