They are also a boost for Connecticut’s economy and good-paying jobs in our state. They are a testament to the highly skilled Sikorsky workers and supply chain companies who build the world’s finest helicopters. There is an ever increasing urgency to the need for such aircraft. I will continue fighting to deliver contracts to Connecticut’s expert defense manufacturers,” said Blumenthal. -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
