Sikorsky S-60 Crash remains. New England Air Museum photo date unsure late 1980s or early 1990s. Don't know what happened but I can take a guess.

Thanks Larry and keep 'em coming! Any S-55/H-19 pics in your collection?

I don't have much but what I have I'll put on in a different post. You have a great website and you preserve the history of helicopters. You deserve my efforts. I have about 5 photos of the H-19 airframes that used to sit at Chandler Memorial Airport in AZ. Also some Turbo-shaft powered at Mesa Field, AZ. All taken in 1986.

The C-133 last belonged to Northern Air Cargo, sadly 59-0531/N2276V was scrapped in early 2001. A Mojave in Carson Helicopters markings is in a yard just outside of the Mojave airport - I forget her serial/N-number and cannot read this machines.

Thanks for posting these pictures,

Gary

That bird is N7394, 145875...unfortunately when they moved her from Tucson, they sawed thru
the engine pod spars for ease of transport. :(
