One of nine HO3S-1Gs built for the US Coast Guard, this pioneering helicopter was taken on strength in 1946 with the serial number 235 (later 1235). Civil registration issued in March 1961, the helicopter was eventually acquired by the US Naval Aviation Museum in 1983 and moved to Pensacola for restoration and display.
