A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Of a certain age, does that mean older than dirt? Had the pleasure of riding in the uh- 34.
Mike, yep, that's what it means.
Did several vertical air assaults riding in them. That didn't make me airborne, just a potential bullet sponge. Its engine was developed in 1932.
And the pilots sat on top of the engine....fun times.
From growing up, I knew it as the Westland Wessex.
CP88, the Wessex was the turbine-powered version. The S-58 had an R-1820 radial piston engine, likely the only radial ever mounted on a tilted axis in an aircraft (though there were tanks that had something similar).
Nice note, I was wondering about that as I looked at the H-34 going that doesn’t quite look right...
