| Jim Silva San Diego, CA | I was a crew chief with the 93rd Transportation Company (light helicopter - H-21C) from 1957 through 1959.
Have been out to Classic Rotors at Romaona a number of times and have talked to them at various air shows in the area. They are a great bunch of people. 03/24/2010 @ 18:09 [ref: 25922] |
| Craig Clary Hemet, CA | I volunteered there at the March Field Air Museum from January 1997 to February 2005 and in all that time, I never saw the blades on the H-21B once, I was told by the former restoration manager that it didn't see combat and the blades would rot out in time, but now that the blades are back on the aircraft, it looks much better, my compliments to the current retoration manager and his crew for a job well done. 07/16/2009 @ 05:40 [ref: 24299] |

| Dale Call , CT | My Dad used to work on H21's in the Army in the late 1950's at Fort Riley,Kansas and Fort Greely, AK - crashed a few times in them, too but the snow always seemed to break the fall pretty well. Someday I hope I can get to CA and see one actually FLY! 12/11/2007 @ 17:46 [ref: 18889] |
| Dale Weir Houston, TX | I used to enjoy watching a fleet of these scramble in the mid to late 60's. I was an air traffic controller 75 ft. overhead. The sound of those big radial engines firing up and not hitting evenly at first, but leaving the ground ASAP all in sequence with two at a time till all ten were up and off was quite a production.
As a biplane may look like a dragonfly, these really acted like them. To me they are the steam engine of helicopters as they belched smoke and popped off to a roaring start. 04/20/2007 @ 00:43 [ref: 16238] |
