This inactive Sikorsky S-58T owned Helicopter Transportation Services was stored at Carp, ON prior to HTS selling its S-58 fleet to S. Korea in late 2019. It was delivered new to Humble Oil in May 1957 as N863 for offshore drilling support and operated by Rotor Aids from a large heliport in Grand Isle, LA. In Oct 1959, it was sold to Okanagan Helicopters in Canada in Oct. 1959 as CF-LWB and upgrade to a turbine S-58B/T 1971. It was owned by Helicsa in Spain (EC-CYJ) from 1976 until sold to the USA.
