Thirty years after the CN Tower opened to the public in downtown Toronto, Erickson Air-Crane brought S-64E, N189AE "Gypsy Lady" to Toronto to celebrate the role S-64E, N6962R, "Olga" played completing what became the World's tallest freestanding structure at 553.33 metres (1,815 ft 5in). Over 3.5 weeks in March-April 1975, N6962R made 44 lifts at the tower to build the antenna. in 2006, N189AE hovered over the CN Tower for 2 minutes and then landed at the base. It was the first new S-64E built after Erickson bought the S-64/CH-54 rights. It incorporates parts of ex-US Army CH-54A, msn 64-062. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
