Holy shit. The 4-blade rotor in the background must have helped.

5 blades actually.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

2 engines makes that an H-53.

And yes, the USAF was flying them during Vietnam.

In 1984, tail #796 still had patches on its skin. Those patches covered bullet holes encountered during a rescue mission like the one above.

All six of our HH-53s served in theater. Between 86 and 87 they were reconfigured to MH-53 Pav-Lo.

Thanks for the correction!

I remember seeing the 53J/Pave Low's down at Hurlburt in the late 1980's. Impressive machines!

The Cobra was the escort...

I'll leave Cliff Clavin out of this...

Main helicopter doing the lift is a Sea King, I think. Not sure the USAF was flying those in the '60s.

I SPIE rigged out of a CH-46, it’s a hell of a way to travel lol

Amazed that the helicopter has the power to lift those gigantic balls!

Never had the privilege to fly in one, but my favorite all time helicopter was the Cobra, what I saw them do to NVA would get me kicked off of Facebook permanently if I was to describe it in detail. (Let’s just say a mini gun at full song can really make a mess of a fella’s day.). Mess is the key word.

If you have a big screen projection TV maybe we could do a package deal? I have a few of those old bulbs stored somewhere. I'd hate to see them go to waste

Is that an LS valve cover?
The owners should have been changing the oil more often

Back when you did everything by mail order... no FFL required. Sends your check or money order or wire and you get some beautiful guns!

Many a good hour spent crawling through the pages of Shotgun News. Now I wish that my first custom rifle was still in original configuration.

I stand corrected.
6 blades.
It's been a while since I've worked on them.

Or
Not using Quaker Sludge oil, which is what I think he was referring to.....maybe....perhaps ?

I saw this thought, so true! I can only name 3 of the four movies though. Drums doesn’t ring any bells View attachment 8367908

Quigley down under....he was great in that movie.

Same in Robin Hood, he was the only good thing in that movie.
