Sikorsky HRS (N17756)
N17756, a Sikorsky S-55QT WhisperJet, is about to touch down in front of my spotting location on the west side of Reno Tahoe International. (* Note: This helicopter also displays an Australian registration number ... P2-HBZ.) (ADDED NOTE: Gregg Lucas has advised me {see below} that the reg P2-HBZ is a New Guinean reg. Thank you, Gregg, and I apologize for my error.)

Super beautiful photo,Gary - 5*
Gary... another great photo of a very nice Sikorsky helicopter!
great shot of a rare helo
The callsign P2-HBZ would indicate a Papua New Guinean registration, PNG.
Australian callsign begin with VH-, ie VH-EBC.

And a lovely shot of a historical aircraft!
Mathias, Cliff, and Sam ... Hey, guys, Howdy to all three of you. I appreciate your complis (compliments) and I'm glad you enjoy this snap.
(PS: Sam, I'll be emailing you but I'm away tomorrow doing a photo shoot so I'll get that email to you either Thurs or Fri, OK? )
Gregg >> I apologize to you. I am acquainted with the owners of these Sikorsky WJs and I full well knew that a couple of their S55s, including this one, were previously in New Guinea prior to coming here. In fact, their website even shows some clicks they took in NG. But when I saw the other reg (it is on the underside), I made a thoughtless assumption ... thereby proving the old adage ... that to assume makes an "a_s" out of "me." lol Thank you for correcting me ... and thank you also for the compli. (Thumbs Up) I'll correct the info under my photo.
