A helicopter from Baltimore can make sense for a short hop around the region, depending on where it can land and the weather on the day.
The Sikorsky S-76 entered service in 1979. It seats 6 to 8 with a published range of 411 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 155 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 15,000 feet, 38 cubic feet of baggage volume and a lavatory.

Why the Sikorsky S-76 Fits Baltimore
There is no jet airport in Annapolis, so trips for Annapolis and the Naval Academy use BWI, about 17 miles away.
A helicopter leg around Baltimore depends on the landing points at both ends and the day’s weather, and we check with operators before telling you it will work.
