Photo Comment

Last flight of a Swedish Hkp 4. It was delivered today to the Aeroseum at the former military airbase of Säve, now known as Goteborg City Airport. The Swedish, who have all their military helicopters organized into a single independent command, still have one Hkp 4 with some flight hours left. However, it is stored and not expected to fly again. After the withdrawal from use of the last Japanese Vertol 107 last year this leaves the USMC as the last operator of a handful of CH-46's.
