    NYC Callsigns "Mike Fox" and "Papa Sierra"

    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.



    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?

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

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

    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.

    it was possible, until the government people took my time machine away. i was planning on going back in time to buy a P-47D...
