| Robert Carbajal Marrero, LA | When I was in HU-1, I dropped a HRS in the ocean off New Zeeland. Something about a "ground cushion". 07/27/2004 @ 17:51 [ref: 7922] |
| Jack Ubel Eads, TN | I worked on HRS-1,2 and 3"s in the Marine Corps. I was in HMR 362 in 1952, Tustin, Calif., HMR 161 in Korea 1953/54 where we had HRS 1,2, and 3's. In 1956 I helped write the first helicopter school for Marines at Memphis, Tn. called ADH[A1]. The helicopter we taught was the HRS. I have worked on a check crew, worked in the component shop, flew as a crew chief, wrote curriculum, and taught the HRS. To me it was a great machine,but not quite the bird the H34 was.Spent two tours Vietnam with it so I guess I'm partical. 10/31/2001 @ 18:53 [ref: 3536] |
| Kreig Loftin , GA | I'm a former Marine Crew Chief from HMM-262 (CH46's)and served in Vietnam from 1967-1968. I have a black and white photo of an HRS-1 that looks to be taken during the Korean War era. The aircraft is painted with a Santa Claus face on the nose of the aircraft and a "Merry Xmas" across the fuselage. Marine Corps BU number 127789. I ran across the photo at an antigue mall and had to have it as I had trained on the H-19 in Millington, TN in 1965-66. I'll try to scan and upload, but the photo is 11X14 and a rather large format.
