HORSEHEADS, N.Y., Aug. 25, 2009 – Sikorsky Global Helicopters, a Sikorsky company, recently delivered an S-300C™ helicopter to Superior Flight School of Greater Atlanta, Ga. Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).

The new helicopter will be used for flight training as the second Sikorsky Global Helicopters aircraft in the company’s fleet. Best known for fixed wing training, Superior recently introduced rotary wing training to its program.

Superior Flight School will operate the new helicopter as a lease-back from a private owner. The company already leases an S-300CB™ helicopter and plans to add a second S-300C helicopter to its fleet in the near future.

“Operating 300 Series helicopters will give us a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” said Joe Gravalec, general manager and co-owner of Superior Flight School. “We have waited for the right time to introduce helicopter training and are looking forward to growing the new program.”

The S-300C helicopter is known for its versatility in a broad range of operations, from law enforcement and utility patrol to lift operations. With its 950-pound useful load, the S-300C helicopter combines precise maneuverability with outstanding endurance at an economical price.

In addition, the S-300C helicopter operates throughout the world in many demanding roles including military patrol, power line/pipeline patrol, commercial and military flight training, ranching, external load operations, animal surveys, aerial photography and personal transportation. The cockpit size, load capacity, performance characteristics, robust design and low direct operating costs make the S-300C a leader in its class.
