13 March 1977 – first flight of Sikorsky S-76 — On 13 March 1977, the prototype of the Sikorsky S-76 medium-size utility rotorcraft performed its first flight.

On 13 March 1977, the #Sikorsky #S76 took to the skies for the very first time. Today we mark the 49th #anniversary of that #MaidenFlight, which brought the beginning of a #helicopter that would go on to become one of the most recognizable twin-engine #rotorcraft in #CivilAviation.

Note how personnel from #helicopter was landed neatly on the catwalk. Rest of deck is obstructed (more or less) with this design where you have 'stringers' on deck instead of below

Los Angeles man sentenced for shooting that struck LAPD helicopter tail A South Los Angeles man, Douglass Byers, 62, was convicted of firing a rifle shot that pierced the tail of a Los Angeles Police Department helicopter in August 2025, an act prosecutors said nearly caused a catastrophic crash. The jury found Byers guilty of two counts of assault on a peace officer and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm after a four-day trial. He now faces up to 43 years in prison. The investigation began when several 911 callers reported gunfire from Byers’ backyard. Police officers later discovered an AR-15 rifle, replica guns, and 18 spent shell casings. Hours after the incident, maintenance crews found a bullet hole in the helicopter’s tail section that could have critically damaged its control systems. The pilot, who was unaware of the hit during flight, and a tactical officer were flying over a residential area at the time. Despite no witnesses seeing Byers fire the weapon, gunshot residue tests tied him to recent shooting activity. Byers, representing himself, denied the charges, claiming intoxication and poor eyesight made such an act impossible. He said the rifle was only used for celebratory gunfire. Testimony revealed Byers was battling cancer and showing erratic behavior prior to the shooting. Prosecutors argued his paranoia and illegal possession of a firearm made him a danger. LAPD officials highlighted the serious threat that a single bullet can pose to aircraft, recalling previous incidents of helicopters being targeted in Los Angeles.

When you hear this sound, you absolutely stop what you are doing and rush outside.

A pair of UH-1 Huey's make a surprise appearance. Not sure who they are, as they aren't pinging and I couldn't make out any markings.
