"The amphibious Sikorsky S-62A is the first American-made turbine-powered helicopter certified by the Federal Aviation Agency for passenger transport operations."
This [then] advanced helicopter design in operation with the San Francisco & Oakland Helicopter Airlines, Inc, founded 1961, and begining service with this Sikorsky model, offering 62 flights per day. The company ceased operations in 1985.
And fwiw, in a prior life, during the late 70s / early 80s, I accumulated over a 1000 hours in the USCG version, the HH-52A.
