What a beauty ! Thanks for sharing retro11.

Originally built as a Sikorsky CH-54B 'Tarhe', cn 64-081, for the US Army in 1969 sn 69-18473. Bought by Erickson Air-Crane in 1998 and converted to an Erickson-Sikorsky S-64F Skycrane. Since then it has been leased out in Malasia, Korea and Peru.

Re: Chinook British Airways

Mike, that was around the time I transfered to Heathrow. Things were pretty chaotic around that time as BAH were moving their HQ from Gatwick to Aberdeen and those of us who wanted to stay in the South had to find new jobs. The older I get the less I remember !

While I had little action with the Chinook I was heavily involved with the S.61 fleet. The S.61N ZS-HDK that ...
