-What kind of Sikorskys did you work on Irish?
They have complicated rotor heads. A lot different from a Huey!
I mainly worked on 61s & 53s. I may have these designations wrong because it was a long time ago & my mind is slipping. I quit in (around )' 71. & moved to N.H. Different services have different designations for the helicopters. By 53s I mean what the Navy calls the Sea Stallion. Irish

P.S.I also did a lot of work (engines etc.) on the Skycrane!
