In 1962 Sikorsky developed the S-61A Payloader, a stripped down and shortened S-61N with landing gear from an S-61L for aerial crane work. This is the only one built and is pictured undergoing maintenance (rebuilding?) with Okanagan Helicopters. The company was interested in the machine, but lack of a Canadian type certificate made it too expensive to consider. The helicopter was sold to Croman as N318Y. It was written off when it settled into trees and impacted terrain after a power loss on March 26, 2002.
