I don't work for Sikorsky and have and never have had an affiliation with them or any other company.  I actually have no ill will at all towards the company, I am looking at this from an objective perspective.  I don't know if I said it on this particular forum, but I follow U.S. AF programs as...

Monkhouse, you obviously disagree with my comments, but I am simply calling it as I see it.  I am seeing article after article being published on problems with Sikorsky, I guess that makes me tend to think that they cannot deliver or have their aircraft perform.  Do you work for Sikorsky, is...

I think that all of Sikorsky's lies are catching up with them when it comes time for them to perform.  They are not delivering what they promised, if other buyers are having problems with the companys CSAR solutions, the AF would be mad to choose Sikorsky for the CSAR-X contract.

Brit S-92s Falling Short on Range Defensetech.org (Blog) By Christian Lowe An alert DT reader forwarded this article to me from a British news service. New search-and-rescue helicopters serving remote parts of the Highlands have yet to carry out a long-range rescue - eight months after being...

Haletown...I agree...very strange PR strange PR strategy from Sikorsky.  I am also surprised that no real stories have been uncovered, it seems that this story would be pursued by many Canadian journalists since this is their tax dollars and is affecting their troops. CH-148 Platform...

Ottawa has it dead right: not a dime more for Sikorsky The Gazette [Montreal] Monday, May 05, 2008 The tragicomic running saga of buying helicopters to replace the Canadian Forces' decrepit Sea Kings added another chapter last week. Sikorsky, a division of United Technologies Corp., is...

So, I constructed this timeline from news I have seen from Sikorsky, trying to encompass the story of the company's delays and see if their was any indication of where it started.  I find it interesting how from going through the history, you can see the Canadian government's initial support...

I completely agree!!!  They want more money citing a need for a more powerful engine, but don't think this realization of theirs just happened overnight.  It seems that the company has known about these problems (technical and financial) for a while now, but are slowing letting things out of the...

They already re-opened it in 2007.  The new proposals are due May 27, and Sikorsky is bidding the same aircraft that they have for Canada--so that their new bid includes the FBW.

Thank goodness the government is finally saying something.  I love Brousseu's quote of the "contractors claimed reasons for the delays".  I think that finally truth is coming out.  Sikorsky has been saving face for a very long time now, but that was a ticking time bomb.  Can only hold up a front...

What is causing the delay?  At first I thought it may be the FBW, but I read recently that Sikorsky is fielding aircraft in the UK that has the capabilities that are going to be included in their CSAR bid in the US.  I know that they are moving the FBW technology into their bid, so what other...

Has anyone heard anything more about the delays regarding the CH-148.  I know that the message seems to be that it is 30 months, but I still have not heard any clear confirmation from the Government or Sikorsky about this.  Both Sikorsky and the Canadian government are being very tightlipped on...
