Former German Air Force H-34G was returned to Sikorsky and converted to an S-58T. Pictured with Queen City Helicopters (1982 - 2004?), the helicopter was last with Heli Flite / Aris Helicopters from 2004. While lifting an air conditioning unit, it was heavily damaged on March 13, 2011. After one of the Pratt & Whitney PT-6 engines lost power, the pilot attempted an emergency landing but the 4,700 pound load failed to jettison and the helicopter hit trees. The aircraft's registration was cancelled in 2013.

This is one of two S-28Ts owned by Heli-Flite Inc, doing business as ARIS Helicopters. Originally an H-34A Choctaw delivered to the French Air Force circa 1958. Registered N1168U after Air Force service, the helicopter was damaged on April 14, 1989. Taxiing with a load of cargo, the right landing gear failed due to cracks and corrosion passing over a drainage depression. The helicopter rolled on it's side. It was rebuilt circa 2002 and converted to turbine power. The aircraft is current with ARIS at the time of uploading.
