Nice quiet day as I was sitting at the Republic lot by the Main Terminal enjoying a vanilla Wendys Frosty Shake (summers guilty pleasure) when I see a Sikorsky S-76
come across mid-field from the east and passes by the terminal to land at Bravo pad. It was N26EG and had the the Talon Air logo on the tail boom. I heard on my
scanner they IDed as "Talon Two Six". They taxied over to the Talon Air facilty, quickly shutdown and two passengers got out and walked right over to their silver
Bentley which waited in the hangar and they drove off themselves.
So is this S-76B new to Talon Air? First time I saw it. I know they have a Robinson R44 (N727AK) in the hangar. Havent seen that fly in awhile. I remember in 2007
they, along with N355AG, were used for the Jones Beach Air Show shuttle.
