"That Others May Live", the HH-3E Jolly Green Giant was used in many (behind enemy lines) rescue missions. This HH-3E of the 71st Special Operations Squadron (normally based at Kirtland, NM) was seen at Davis Monthan AFB (AZ) during an exercise. The helicopter was placed in storage at nearby AMARC several years later, in 1992. In 1995 it was sold to the Tunisian Air Force as L82-105/TS-SRE.

This not-so-jolly Green Giant was retired to AMARG during Sept. 92 where she was stored with the PCN/Inventory No. AAHH0036.

The USAF developed the HH-3E 'Jolly Green Giant' to perform combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions to recover downed Airmen during the SE Asia War. The HH-3E was a highly modified version of the CH-3 transport helicopter, being the first air-refuelable helicopter and incorporating armour plating, defensive armament, self-sealing fuel tanks, a water-tight hull and a rescue hoist. This particular aircraft has earned her retirement at the National Museum of the USAF after long and distinguished service in Vietnam.

This (not so) Jolly Green Giant was retired to AMARG during Dec. 1992 and is stored on the East side of Kolb. Rd with the PCN/Inventory No. AAHH0045.
