On display indoors at Pima Air & Space Museum. This Dragonfly with s/n 48-0548 is in USCG markings as an HO3S-1G SAR helicopter, which flew nine of the type from 1946-59 after they were transferred from the US Navy. The type was used by HU-1 "Fleet Angels" during the Korean War. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
