I took this slide from a US Navy C-9B taxiing out for a flight from Seoul to NAF Atsugi, Japan. This UH-19D was delivered to the US Army on 28 February 1958, and at a later date was transferred to the Republic of Korea Air Force. This UH-19D still exists, and is on display at the Korean Aerospace Institute Museum at Sacheon Airport.
