This 1982 model MBB Bo105 CBS-4, N2907T wearing the titles "MedEvac1" was photographed departing Manhattan's East 34th Street heliport after dropping off a patient.

This early serial number Aerospatiale SA-360C Dauphin (msn 1004) was operating scheduled passenger flights from Manhattan's East 34th Street Heliport in April 1984, probably to JFK. It was probably the first Dauphin imported to the USA by Aerospatiale Helicopter Corp. in Texas since it was already N47284 when displayed at the 1976 Reading Airshow. New York Helicopter, Island Helicopter, and National Helicopter were sister companies. They were all evicted from E34th St. heliport in August 1997 after owing unpaid rent on the heliport they had also managed. Rotorspot says this 360C is preserved.

This Sikorsky S-58T was flying scheduled passenger services between Manhattan's East 34th Street heliport (6N5) and JFK Airport in April 1984. After serving with the German Army and Navy since 1963, it was purchased by Sikorsky in 1973 for conversion to a S-58ET with a twin-turbine P&WC PT6T Twin Pac replacing the Wright R-1820 Cyclone. It flew with Air Greenland as OY-HBG, "Taliffak", between 1975 and 1982 until sold to the US. New York Helicopters (and its two sister companies) flew it 1982-1998. It was sold to St Louis Helicopters in Nov 1998 (for spare parts?) and canceled in July 1999.

This veteran S-58 was operating pleasure flights over Manhattan. Very enjoyable it was too!

Sightseeing flights from East 34th Street were suspended not long after this shot was taken. Note the United Nations Building. The helicopter became N2AQ, a news chopper in the Atlanta area.

New York Helicopters fleet No. 7 (on nose) approaching over the Hudson River on its scheduled run from JFK. I flew on its return trip to connect with my flight from JFK to Manchester aboard a British Airways L-1011 TriStar.
