According to the press release:
"Keystone has now completed and delivered three Sikorsky S-76 aircraft to the New Jersey State Police."
I assume that 2 are South* and North* - does anyone know how the third will be deployed?

Thanks,

Ken

It is said...They will be used to add to the Medi-Vac Fleet,so that the Monoc & Atlantic Units(plus out of state copters) will not be needed so often.This will give NJSP back ,Control of the Sky !

What makes a helicopter a "rescue" helicopter? According to Sikorsky's web site:

"The Sikorsky S-76 helicopter delivers the perfect combination of performance and reliability, plus an impressive useful load, for the most demanding missions, including Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), Search and Rescue (SAR) and Airborne Law Enforcement (ALE)... "

Sounds like it is to me???
