University of Pennsylvania Health System established the PennSTAR air ambulance program in the summer of 1988 to serve patients in Delaware, New Jersey and central Pennsylvania. This 1985 model BK117 was test flown in Germany as D-HBMZ, then shipped to MBB Helicopter Corp at Brandywine Airport, PA and flew as N44932 prior to delivery to aero medical operator CJ Systems as N117CJ for use by the STAT Medevac and PennStar EMS programs. Air Methods bought CJ Systems in October 2007 and retired N117CJ in 2015. Metro Aviation now flies four helicopters for PennStar from three bases.

The H-5 was the RCAF's first helicopter. The first three were delivered in 1947, with four more following, two in 1948 and two in 1949. Bought for Search and Rescue, the type was also used to train a helicopter force from the ground up. The S-51s (as they were better known by the crews) were in service until the 1960s when parts were getting scarce and more modern helicopters had joined the RCAF. 9603 was sold to the Alberta Institute of Technology in 1964 as a training aid, later going to the American Helicopter Museum & Education Center where it remains on display.

On 3rd Jan. 1970, whilst on operations over Vietnam's Tay Ninh province, this Cobra was hit by a .51 calibre bullet in the cockpit. Unfortunately the shell severed an artery in the pilot's leg and he (AC Gene Olsen) bled out before the co-pilot/gunner could reach a medevac helipad. This poignant exhibit is now on display at the American Helicopter Museum.

Grateful thanks to the people at the American Helicopter Museum for their helpfulness and kindness. This was the only day I could visit and the museum was actually closed, yet they let me in and allowed me to photograph their exhibits. Really nice people so please visit if you get the chance!

This was an experimental, medium-lift, tandem rotor, cargo helicopter developed privately by Boeing to demonstrate advanced helicopter technology. It was intended as a technology demonstrator with no plans to put the type into production. Many of it's design features were carried onto other programs, including the RAH-66 Comanche and V-22 Osprey. This is the sole prototype and is now on display at the American Helicopter Museum.
