This helicopter was constructed as a HRS-2 and TOC with the USN as BuNo 130151 in July 1952. She was converted to HRS-3 (CH-19E) by Sikorsky at San Diego in 1956 and continued to serve until retired and placed into storage ending up at MASDC as 2H0029 in 1965. She arrived at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola for restoration in 1982 and is now on display as a USCG HO4S-3G/HH-19G. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
