Former US Army helicopter that had been transferred to South Korea by 1977 as there is a fantastic picture of this helicopter from that year on Air History. At least since 2002 it has been preserved at the KAI museum, in exact the same colours it had in 1977.

This UH-19D was in storage by the USAF Museum restoration hangars across the airfield from the museum when I took this slide. It is now at the Museum of Aviation at Warner Robins AFB, Georgia, but is currently being restored and not on display as of July 2022.

I took this slide from a US Navy C-9B taxiing out for a flight from Seoul to NAF Atsugi, Japan. This UH-19D was delivered to the US Army on 28 February 1958, and at a later date was transferred to the Republic of Korea Air Force. This UH-19D still exists, and is on display at the Korean Aerospace Institute Museum at Sacheon Airport.

A four fold increase in the production of cherries in Washington State between 1999 and 2017 (26.5 million 20-pound boxes) is behind a major increase in the number of helicopters under contract to area growers to fan rainwater off maturing fruit to prevent splitting between May and August. This includes a remarkable fleet of about 15 Sikorsky S-55s operated by Golden Wings Aviation's Dave Smith (in 2016) and nine S-58s operated by VI 1 LLC based at Anderson Field in Brewster, WA and the nearby Monse heliport. This S-55 (ex 54-1422) and 14 others were re-registered to Sierra Aeronautics LLC of KY in 2021.

The US Army Aviation Museum is well worth visiting. Some of the a/c are in diorama-like settings such as the UH-19D is here.

Became the basis of an Guangzhou-Orlando S-55 Bearcat, built by Guangzhou Machinery Tool Company.

Early transport helicopters were burdened by the weight of their piston engines, in this case a 700-hp Wright R-1300 Cyclone. 52-7602 was delivered to the US Army on 14 September 1953. To N55233 in 1971. N55233 cancelled in 2013.

This is a view of the Bissell Auto & Body boneyard in Choutou Ave., St. Louis. The Chickasaw N37800 was previously 55-4944 with the US Army and substantially damaged in accidents in 1986 (repaired) and 1992 (w/o). The Shawnee is 56-4353 and the Mohawk 59-2608.
