North Carolina’s Dept of Transportation (NCDOT) recently put a little-used S76C++ up for sale on eBay – but the auction has closed with no bids received. The reserve price had been set at $1.5 Million, and they allowed just one day for potential visitors to come and inspect the helicopter and all its associated paperwork – perhaps each of those facts conspired against the sale. The 1998 aircraft has just 1855 airframe hours and 4178 landings.
The eBay auction is still available to read here in all its detail as we file this story
The S76 remains at Raleigh-Durham International Airport with the NCDOT looking at new ways to dispose of it, or flexing its thoughts on reserve price etc
