The Sikorsky S-61R, a developed version of the naval SH-3 Sea King, served in the US Air Force in two main roles:
The cargo helicopter CH-3C/E and the combat search and rescue (CSAR) variant known as the HH-3E Jolly Green Giant. Both missions would turn over to the much bigger Sikorsky S-65 during the 1970s.
