The Sikorsky S-76 does double duty as a VIP transport and offshore workhorse. It's the helicopter version of a luxury SUV — comfortable, capable, and at home on a skyscraper helipad or an oil platform.
Fun fact
Marine One's decoy helicopters are sometimes VH-3s or VH-60s, but the S-76 has served as a VIP transport for many heads of state worldwide.
How to spot one
Retractable landing gear. Four-blade rotor. Sleek, corporate look. The 'limousine of helicopters.' Used by Marine One.
Crews call it
