This inactive Sikorsky S-58T owned Helicopter Transportation Services was stored at Carp, ON prior to HTS selling its S-58 fleet to S. Korea in late 2019. It was delivered new to Humble Oil in May 1957 as N863 for offshore drilling support and operated by Rotor Aids from a large heliport in Grand Isle, LA. In Oct 1959, it was sold to Okanagan Helicopters in Canada in Oct. 1959 as CF-LWB and upgrade to a turbine S-58B/T 1971. It was owned by Helicsa in Spain (EC-CYJ) from 1976 until sold to the USA. Between 1991 and 2016, N47B, was operated by Air One, Air Crane and finally HTS. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I. Swartz, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
