Hot new helicopter/rotorcraft news

Whats the story on Sierra flying with ESSS with nothing loaded. Is this just a convenience and mission flex in case a payload/ordinance is needed later?

Taking those things off is time-consuming. It’s very common to have them installed for missions where the extra weight, drag and proximity to the hoist are detrimental.

Also, I'm rusty on the details, but I think the Sierra "wings" are not identical to the Army ESSS. ESSS has two hard points. MH-60S is called EWSS (IIRC), and has only one hard point.
