JoshuaHOST
A really good example that I think the listeners to this podcast might appreciate is Blade has two level of services.
JoshuaHOST
You can buy a per seat use case to transfer, you know, to Manhattan from the airport and that's on a bell and you're squeezed in or you can rent an entire Sikorsky for yourself.
JoshuaHOST
And those are two completely different levels and expectations of luxury.
JoshuaHOST
And so when I book private travel for clients, a lot of my questioning in terms of planning their travel for them is their previous experiences.
Nick PeacockHOST
Well, we talked about Roberts.
Nick PeacockHOST
Let me talk about Burgess and Sikorsky,
Julian PictonHOST
which is the other of the two recent cases.
Julian PictonHOST
And deputieship.
KyleHOST
It
ClintHOST
was a new Sikorsky helicopter that was sinking in the mud.
ClintHOST
In the grass.
ClintHOST
They had to build, they were having it land on like these giant discs.
Steve KatesHOST
But that's incredible when you repeat, and not to be overly redundant here, the first woman to cross the United States in one of those, 1931.
Steve KatesHOST
Igor Sikorsky, as many people may know, with the great Sikorsky brand of helicopters, and also the Soviets at the time developing their helicopters.
Steve KatesHOST
These are the early days of not only aviation.
Steve KatesHOST
So this woman obviously had, I don't know, great tenacity to be able to fly these machines and successfully doing all these great records.
Steve KatesHOST
Yeah.
Steve KatesHOST
The one blazing all over the side of the auto gyro, but that's incredible when you repeat and not to be overly redundant here, the first woman to cross the United States in one of those 1931, uh, Igor Sikorsky, as many people may know, with the great Sikorsky brand of helicopters, and also the Soviets at the time developing their helicopters.
Steve KatesHOST
These are the early days of not only aviation.
Steve KatesHOST
So this woman obviously had, I don't know, a great tenacity to be able to fly these machines and successfully doing all these great records.
Beckett GrahamHOST
Things like meteorology, geology, cartography, aeronautical engineering, etc.
Beckett GrahamHOST
Yes, there is a famous project between NYU, the women of NYU, and the Sikorsky Company.
Beckett GrahamHOST
So that's all going on in the background.
Beckett GrahamHOST
Her position was considered too critical, but Grace wanted to contribute directly.
David VanderhoofGUEST
But the museum is made up of quite a few significant helicopters.
David VanderhoofGUEST
Probably our most famous and most significant helicopter would be our Gander Express, which was a Sikorsky R-6 helicopter.
David VanderhoofGUEST
that the museum restored almost to 100% accuracy.
David VanderhoofGUEST
The helicopter itself achieved the first Coast Guard rescue of a Sabina DC-6 that crashed in Grandeur, Newfoundland.
David VanderhoofGUEST
Postal Service was one of the first deliveries delivered.
David VanderhoofGUEST
From then on, we have a series of individuals like Frank Piasecki, who grew up in the area, flew the first aircraft.
David VanderhoofGUEST
The second manned helicopter in the United States, the first being Igor Sikorsky, and then went on to create Piasecki Aircraft Corporation.
David VanderhoofGUEST
And that corporation's products lead all the way up to the CH-47 Chinook, which is still being built by Boeing in Ridley Park.
Shannon JeanHOST
They sell everything from refrigerators to cars and trucks.
Shannon JeanHOST
This is a Sikorsky helicopter.
Shannon JeanHOST
So they got a couple of Blackhawks up here.
Shannon JeanHOST
Look at it, 500,000, 800,000.
Arianne KolbGUEST
So the Hutch ends and then right where Greenwich is.
Arianne KolbGUEST
It starts there and then it ends in Stratford, kind of like over where Sikorsky is.
Arianne KolbGUEST
And there's one last bridge might be on one of these videos with these Nike wings.
Arianne KolbGUEST
And that's kind of the last celebration bridge.
Gregory StroudHOST
I mean, certainly one of the serious questions underlying this is the value of a college education.
Gregory StroudHOST
Can Connecticut's public colleges and universities provide value to their students? And one idea was that as a research institution, they could create and – they could teach people to get technical certification or technical degrees that might feed its industry, which is, you know, Connecticut's bread and butter is high-tech, military, EB, Sikorsky, electric boat, these sorts of companies.
Gregory StroudHOST
And so the idea was maybe to create a university that could feed those industries, if I understand it.
Luke FeeneyPANELIST
Yeah, I think to some extent, and it's interesting you bring that up because Costellas also argued a lot of the features of that designation Central Connecticut already has, which I thought was a very interesting point.
