is this the new spelling of testimony maybe?
Jeff Pino, Senior Vice President of [Sikorsky] Marketing and Commercial Programs remarked after the ceremony that "after taking delivery of the first production S-92 last year, PHI demonstrated its confidence in the S-92 by ordering additional aircraft and just accepting delivery of its fourth. This is a strong testament to the safety and productivity of the S-92 along with our ability to support the launching of a new aircraft type."
The several dictionaries I have checked say impossible.
