Correct - it's a Sikorsky R-4.


No, indeed it's not one of my shots of the Yanks chopper. ;) So whose is it?

Correct that it's the Canadian Aviation Museum example. Have a warm feeling mrp!

bdk is also right:
Quote:
Museum Example

* Registration #: 43-46565 (USAAF)
* Manufacturer: Sikorsky Aircraft Division of United Aircraft Corporation, United States
* Manufacture Date: 1944
* Construction #: Unknown
* Aquisition Date: 1983
* Provenance: Exchange with the Planes of Fame Museum, United States

The Museum aircraft was built in 1944 for the US Army Air Forces. Its subsequent history is not known. It was acquired by the Museum in 1983 from the Planes of Fame Museum in California.
