'Helitak 334' or 'Little Elvis' (a reference to the Skycrane 'Elvis' - N179AC - that has been in Victoria for the last few summers), off on a local 'blow out the cobwebs' flight. This helo was built in 1991 and registered in Japan as JA6660. Imported to Australia in 1999, it was registered on 1 June that year. Under the belly is a tank for 1200 litres of water and 60 litres of foaming agent.

This rarely-seen Texan was built for the USAAF but delivered to the USN as SNJ-5 Bu 84825 (X-A-N - get it?). It later went to the Spanish Ejercito del Aire as C.6-163, code 421-56. In 1992 it was registered in the USA as N29944 but crashed on take-off at Houston on 19 Sept of that year. It came to Australia for rebuild and was first registered on 12 Feb 1991. Seen here being marshalled into position for static display at the Narromine Airshow.

It was saved from scrapping and passed through a series of owners until restored to fly at Tyabb, Vic, between 1990-98. It is painted in the wartime markings of 3 Squadron, RAAF.
