Taxiing past the Pinwheel helicopter (see photo 678360) at Van Nuys. This airport was used by the USAF until 1990. The old Mitchell was one of a 1000-aircraft batch from fiscal year 1944. The tail number system requires the first digit of the full serial to be omitted. When in 1954 someone observed that 1940s and 1950s planes with the same tail numbers were in active service, this was curiously addressed not by simply adding the 'decade digit', but by introding a 0 (not O) prefix for older aircraft. See the article in our AirHistory Magazine section. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

The photographer framed the Pinwheel helicopter (see photo 678360) with this S-51 of the US Forest Service. Other shots show the reg clearly as N155Z but it's not listed by the FAA or anywhere else. From 1960 N155Z was worn by a C-46 Commando that the FAA has also forgotten about. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

Half man, half helicopter. This 'strap-on helicopter' was powered by rocket motors mounted at the rotor tips. The tail rotor was for steering. Tested by the US Navy against the Hiller ROE and Gyrodyne RON but RH-1 does not seem to be a naval designation and nor is a serial known. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

In April 2021, N43CU became Coulson's 5th CH-47D. Originally built as a CH-47C (cn B736 / US FY # 74-22272), it was remanufactured / modified to CH-47D standard in 1990. Interestingly, new c/n M3334 plus new US FY # 90-00182 was assigned to this airfame during the upgrade. Retired by the US Army around 2015, apparently becoming N160BE (not confirmed) with Unical and then N43CU in August 2019 (confirmed). The Edison sticker and the "L.A. County Fire" title reveal the heli has been contracted by the electrical company to combat fires within the LA County at the time the picture was taken.
