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.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Weird looking, but rather cool at the same time.
ReplyDeleteDidn't the AF use early-model Kamans for airport rescue and fire-fighting at SAC bases?
ReplyDeleteLooks like this one is rigged for logging. Pretty stable little helo, though not a lot of lift.
ReplyDeleteIIRC it was the side by side dual rotor configuration that earned the early helicopters the 'eggbeater' nickname.

ReplyDeleteIt can lift more than its own weight.
HH-43 Huskie was used by USAF, USN and USMC for firefighting and base rescue, and later saw use in Vietnam for rescue duties. Not sure if it was SAC exclusive within USAF.
ReplyDeleteCenterPuke beat me to it. Odd configuration, but it works, even if it does sound weird...
ReplyDeleteThe Marines used two of them in Afghanistan as drone cargo haulers. They hauled over a million pounds on their trial there.
ReplyDeleteFun trivia: Both the HH-43 and the K-Max rotors use a single wooden spar for fatigue and damage resistance.
