Photo Comment

Pictured in the storage yard adjacent to the Pima Air & Space Museum. I really enjoy photographing these old hulks but finding out all about their service history and how they came to be in such disrepair is interesting too. This particular helicopter served with the AF Flight Test Centre at Edwards AFB before being retired to AMARG during Oct. 69 where she was stored with the PCN/Inventory No. HC025. Eventually it was cut up and the cockpit was with Scroggins Aviation for movie mock-up work.
