How About Some Huskies
Wed Apr 01, 2009 8:55 am
Greetings All!
A somewhat neglected helo type, I have a liking for the Husky and recently scanned some prints of the Husky from my friend Fred Harl's collection. Anyone else have images?
Enjoy the Day! Mark

Fantastic shots.
Are any of the beasts still flying?

P.S. If ever you can't get to sleep, try to figure out how the thing went round corners!
Then try to imagine doing it mechanicaly without fly by wire!!!

Wow, had never seen one of those before, not the prettiest chopper out there but looks interesting all the same.
The rotor blade setup looks mad

Olympic Flight Museum has a HH-43 Huskie in Olypmia, Washington. Thats where the video was shot.

Pima have one that seems to be in good shape.
It would be nice if it had the blades on as this is one of its impressive features. Wonder why none of their helicopters have the blades on... Anyone can enlighten me ?

I have 9000 hours flying helicopters and about 25 in the Husky. It fly's like NOTHING else! It needs constant attention.

Do tell.....I was actually thinking it would somehow be more stable than a "normal" helicopter (not that helicopters are normal by any definition
)
What makes it so demanding? How do pedal turns work? Etc., etc., etc.
