FauxZ Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 So while up in WA this summer, I had the chance to go for a ride in an S55. I had never even heard about the whisper jet birds before then. Anyway, I was curious as to what happened to them? From what I understand there were up to 5 built and I know Papillon flew some, if not all, of them. So the last evidence I can see they were flying was around 2001 or 2002. Where did they go from there? Has anyone seen one in the bone yard or flying around? Z Quote

Papillon had two I think. If you see what you think is a 55, but it has 5 blades instead of 3, then its a Whisper model.... Quote
