Watch the Blackhawks fly around the plant off the Housatonic when fishing.

Pretty cool.

So Lockheed will get back into the helicopter business. Lockheed's last attempt at a military helicopter was the AH-56 Cheyenne, which should have been the successor to the AH-1 Cobra:

"Sikorsky's main plant and administrative offices are located in Stratford, Connecticut. Other Sikorsky facilities are in Shelton, and Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fort Worth, Texas; West Palm Beach, Florida; and Huntsville, and Troy, Alabama. Other Sikorsky-owned subsidiaries are in Trumbull, Connecticut; Coatesville, Pennsylvania; and Grand Prairie, Texas; among others around the world."

"Lockheed-Martins gain will be Connecticuts loss."

Gov. Malloy's deal to keep Sikorsky in Konnecticut was with UTC - UTC is no longer the owner of Sikorsky.
So, UTC gets the tax breaks and unloads Sikorsky, too.
We know Lockheed will move Sikorsky out - the union is killing us, paying people $25+/hr to buck rivets and drink coffee is insane....
