While listening to some aircraft radios, I often hear callsigns, "Mike Fox" and "Papa Sierra" with single digit numbers in front of them, which I believe are both helicopters usually flying between Wall Street and Teterboro.

Anyone know what companies these are, what types and just anything else about them?

Thanks.

I figured out the Papa Sierra... it's N71PS, owned by AIG, I guess and exec transport.

1713993

Now I just gotta figure out the Mike Fox....chance Mike Fox might be a jet that operates to Groton, CT.

With one of the two down, I'm losing it trying to determine the "Mike Fox".

I hear this aircaft of some sort call out "R-O-P Ops, Mike Fox." Anyone have any idea who ROP Ops would be?

MMmm interesting.
The info on the abpic says the pic was taken in 1993.

Time Travel?

I would hope it's a newer model, because if there's time travel I want in.

The picture is of an S-76B. The reg is current on an S-76C. Quick visual differentiation is on the engine intakes - the B is slitty, the C is more square.
