| September 1954 Accepted By The Army October 1954 to January 1955 Served with the Air Force at Wright Patterson AFB February 1955 to April 1962 History Missing (Possible Vietnam Service*12/61 to 4/62?) May 1962 to May 1963 Considered "In Transit" and Not Flown June 1963 to December 1967 U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Ustas, Langley, VA as part of the 1st Army and was flown regularly. January 1968 to June 2000 Most History Missing We think we know that at some point in the early 1970's the helicopter had a hard landing in a gravel pit in Plymouth, MA and that is where the Quonset Air Museum recovered the aircraft. Was the aircraft flown out of Fort Devons on the day of the hard landing? My involvement began in June of 2000 and continues on. Construction Note: It appears, from stamps on parts, the aircraft was in production by Piasecki in Morton, PA at least in the fourth quarter of 1953. |
| *Possible Vietnam Service December1961 to April 1962 Circumstantial evidence points to the possibility. S/N 51-15889, 51-15890, 51-15893 and 51-15894 are confirmed to have served in Vietnam. The forward fuselage has 20 skin repair patches and four of these patches match up from bottom to top as if something passed through the helicopter. |
