UH-130?

Well not quite. Cocooned UH-1H on the South Ramp at Robert Gray Army Airfield, Ft Hood TX, circa 1974

When I was stationed at Ft Hood Tx in the 70's I flew with several units, finally doing two years flying DUSTOFF. We would deploy to Ft Irwin to cover exercises. When not fling I would hang out at the landing field. In this case, two H-53D's came in to drop off PAX.

With a CH-47C tucked in behind the 53D.

UH-1H 72-16295 & 16296, 218th Med Det RC, "Firebird" Ft Hood Tx, 7-1975

In late 1974 I transferred from the 1st CAV to the 218th Med Det. We flew specially modified UH-1H aircraft for Crash Rescue work. The UH-1H's had two 25 Gal AFFF tanks (commonly referred to a Light Water) that fed into a 9 – 18" telescoping boom. In both shots, I'm working a JP-4 fires from the right seat.

We operated sister Huey's, 68-16295 and 16295. We flew both out to Edwards AFB to cover a hazardous CH-47C tests, and left them. The Unit was disbanded, the last RC unit in the US Army, and I transferred over to the 3/507th DUSTOFF unit.

295 was eventually converted to a UH-1SH, "Super Huey" with T53-I-703 engine and is still serving with Customs and Border Patrol as N7247C. 296 was transferred to Germany, and was wrecked in June 1998, last seen in June 1999 at Coleman Barracks. Likely scrapped shortly after 1999.

Right After I got back from attending the Aviation Maintenance Officer Course and OH-58 Test pilot course, I was sent from Ft Carson to Ft Bliss TX. We had two OH-58A's supporting an exercise.

One of the missions that came up was moving a QF-102 from Holloman AFB up to red Reo Range in the northern portion of the bombing range. About a month before we moved the drone, it was taking off and crashed on takeoff.

I was flying the photo ship, an OH-58A with an Air Force photographer, this is one of his shots. I also was able to shoot some of the sling load myself with my camera, flying the 50 with my knees.

10 years later after I went through the CH-47D Q course, I was one of the pilots that made the last CH-47C formation flight in the army as we flew 6 CH-47C's from Ft Meade MD to the Boeing factory in Philadelphia PA

Nice and very interesting pictures @BWDenver !
Was “Robert Gray” in 1974 the name of that airfield, before Killeen AAF,
At West Fort Hood.
At East at Hood AAF the is/was a south ramp where all the OH-58’s were parked 10 years ago.

15.06.2024, in Emmen stande diese 3 CH-47, 13-08435, 13-08432, die mittlere Maschine konnte ich leider nicht identifizieren


Es wird langsam dunkler, später wurden die Motoren gestartet, dann wieder abgestellt. Vermutlich liessen sie die Regenfront am Bürgenstock davon ziehen


Kein richtig brauchbares Bild, aber für die Dokumentation

Moin,

Er steht noch, daneben eine BO 105 ebenfalls aus Fritzlar. Vermutlich für den Zeitraum der Kieler Woche.
