This is a good museum with the specialty of helicopters. The staff is very helpful with people visiting. I found the V-22 display to be in decent shape and very interesting!

I was an AW and spent 10 years in the SH-2F from 1980 to 1990. I started in HSL-31, went to HSL-33 and spent almost 6 years there before going back to HSL-31 as an instructor. Great aircraft and great memories although I don't miss the smell of the exhaust or the headaches after every flight.

Wow, I have been reading your comments. I served with Nav Aids July 1973 to July 1977 I was deployed to jobs in the P.I. working with the Chauvenet and to the Domincan Republic with the Harkness. I also did a tour in Indonesia in 1980 I believe with the Chauvenet. I mentione in an earlier page I was an engineman who posed as a site LSE on these jobs.Would love to get a couple pictures of the helos. Thanks W es

I was a Photographer's Mate First Class (PH1) who flew with HSL-31 Det Bravo, in "Tiny Dinks 16" aboard the USNS Chauvenet from 1979-1981 while located in Indonesia and the Philippines. It was the best 2 years of my sea going career. I'm now a retired PHCS (AW).

It was a pleasant surprise to see the HH-3A in the museum's collection. I flew that very helicopter while assigned to HC-7 as a Big Mother pilot, in SE Asia and San Diego, and also while assigned to HC-9 in San Diego, accumulating nearly 2000 hours in them. HC-7 flew it painted flat gray, while HC-9 flew it in the green. There was also a shiny gray in between for a couple of years. One of these days I'll get to the museum to take some detailed pictures so I can get a model made.

I served in HSL 31 from May of '81 till the end of my enlistment in '84. Served with a lot of good folks but unfortunately have lost contact. Would like to renew contact with HSL 31 and Det Bravo Personel. Especially AD2 Danial "Dano" Myers. I enjoy all of the museum sites especially since all of the commands I was in have all been retired. HSL 31 crew give me a yell. Roy Benson AT3
