| Bill Nelson , AR | While driving around the old WWII Deming Army Air Field in Deming, NM in March, 2005, I saw several H-21 fuselages stacked behind an enclosed area. I assumed they were waiting to be scrapped. Didn't take a picture...wish I had. I had a couple of flights in a CH-21C while stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington in '60 & '61. 02/15/2006 @ 12:02 [ref: 12509] |
| Wib Provines , IN | I arrived at Ft. Richardson, Alaska in Dec 66, assigned to the TMHC(South) aviation co. We had 19 CH-21's, all were polished aluminium with red bands except one with floats that was painted white. When I left in May 68 we were down to only 8. Our first Hueys had arrived a few months earlier. 05/17/2005 @ 14:19 [ref: 10242] |

| Lynn S. Day Corona, CA | My Dad, Calvert E. Day, flew in a Piasecki as a crew chief while stationed in Labrador, Canada with the Royal Canadian Air Force (about 1947). I later flew as a crew chief in CH-53A & D's while stationed at MCAS(H)Tustin, CA with the US Marines (1977). 03/26/2003 @ 00:05 [ref: 6389] |
| Jack Williams , MS | I would like to verify through any ARMY personell the names of any H-21 companys that served in Vietnam. Possibly the 8th, 93rd and the 57th. I was in the 93rd and heard it was changed to the 57th. THANKS JW 08/30/2001 @ 08:33 [ref: 3067] |

| phillip wiley , WV | I worked on the CH-21 in Korea from 1965 to1968 it was a very good aircraft and withstood a lot of punishment. The main problem was the lack of power in the hot summer. In the winter it would lift all you could load. 07/20/2000 @ 20:56 [ref: 477] |
