On 19 July 1987 this TT-1 landed short of the runway at Hayward, CA. after the engine flamed out. Both the pilot and passenger survived. It has since been reregistered as N2697B, but its current airworthiness is unknown. There were 14 TT-1 Pinto a/c produced for the US Navy. The TT-1 was put through operational testing at NAAS Saufley Field, but no further a/c were built. The flying qualities of the TT-1 were satisfactory, however it was underpowered and did not have enough fuel aboard for an average 1 hour training flight plus contingency fuel.

This was the second HH-53B built. It was later converted into a MH-53J and was retired on 21 May 2007, almost 40 years after I took this slide.
