Built under Navy contract as 150779, this S-58 was delivered to the Israeli Air Force via West Germany as part payment for war reparations in 1963. Traded back to Sikorsky in 1972, it was registered N4377S. Sold in Canada in 1979 as C-GRJD to Nahanni Helicopters, it's is pictured with Union Helicopters. Sold to Solly Construction in 1993 as N70666, the registration changed to N703DSC in 1995. Acquired by a new owner in 2018, it works out of Brewster WA at the time of uploading. It's among several vintage helicopters used to dry cherries after rain which keep the fruit's skin from splitting.
