Helicopter flights not in the main logs - N474AW analysis

While everyone focuses on the jets, there was also helicopter traffic. N474AW was a Sikorsky S-76 used for island transfers from St. Thomas. **What we know:** - Operated 2002-2008 - Primary route: TIST → Little St. James (10 min flight) - Separate logs from main aircraft - Less complete passenger records These logs are in a different document batch (DOJ-FOIA-2024-HELO-001). Only 47 pages released compared to 2000+ for the jets. Anyone else noticed these? The helicopter manifest format is different and harder to read.

The helicopter logs are significantly less complete. I've been trying to find more but there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive FOIA response.
Makes sense - the helicopter was for short hops from St. Thomas to the island. Less formal record-keeping than international flights.
