Notes:

The UH-34D is HUS-1Z re-designated in 1962. Designed by Sikorsky for the United States Navy, it was initially built for anti-submarine warfare. However it has since been adapted for civilian, transport, combat, fire fighting and VIP roles. 2108 were built between 1953 and 1970 and many of them still continued to be used in civilan roles. This aircraft is on loan from the National Museum of the Marine Corps located in Quantico, Virginia. It was restored by museum volunteers and members of the USMC Combat Helicopter Association "Pop A Smoke" and was painted to reflect when it served with HMM-163 in Da Nang, Vietnam in 1968. [1600px]
