Hallo friends,

can some one point me to nice sceneries where US pilots of the ARMY, AIRFORCE and NAVY learned to fly and trained to operate the
Sikorsky HSS1, H-34's?

Best regards

Michael
 
As a Midshipman in the summer of 1963, I participated in Naval Aviation orientation in several places.

One was helicopter flight at NAS Ellyson Field, part of the Pensacola complex. At the time we got to fly in the Bell TH-1 "MASH" helo and the H-34. The TH-1 was the primary trainer, the H-34 for advanced. Lots of Marine instructors and students there.

At the time both types were painted in overall orange.

I don't know of any sceney for it, but maybe there is some somewhere.
