Hello from Ft Bliss, TX. Someone posted an inquiry for photos of the Hokum-X. There's one collecting dust here a mile from me at Biggs Army Airfield. It does not have engine or main blades attached, but is in good shape fuselage wise. I will scan some photos of it and submit them, if the person is still interested.

I am interested in tracing the history of a "Huey", which has found a resting place in a museum close to where I live.Is there anyone who could tell me where I could find the serial number, and how I would go about tracing the history of it.

being a television cameraman I am occasionaly asked to do aerial E.N.G shots (long-ranger, jet-rangerbut, squirel, R22) and I have found it difficult to communicate to the pilot in his terms the positioning required for a particular shot/camera move. although this is not something I do often I have upmost respect for the pilot/cameraman team who can acheive some of the beautiful aerial sequences taken for granted in most films/commercials.Good comunication is obviously the key, does anyone have any experience in this field of helicopter operations?

I've got some oral information that some versions of russian helicopters (perhaps Mi types) were or are operated with NATURAL GAS as fuel? Can somebody agree with that and does somebody has ANY references for that?Michael Habermann

First of all this is a great site. I am a member of EAA and am planning construction of a twin rotor helicopter similar to the Kaman H-43. Does anyone know of any plans for this typecraft? Even dimensional drawings of an H-43 wouldhelp. Thanks in advance.Dave

Your web is very interesting. I kept thinking someone would mention the Lockheed Cheyene. It was operated like a fixedwing craft and pivoted the rotors to control the attitude. It also had a rearfacing prop, alongside the counter torque prop, with pitch control so that after liftoff it could increase forward speed without "tilting" the nose down, and could shift the rotors to autorotation in forward movement like an autogyro. It was being designed and tested as an Army ground support craft. It had an arsenal of machine guns, cannon, and rockets. It could lock onto a target, drop behind a hill, back up, and go around the hill rise and blow the tank or whatever into next week. It had a top speed in tests of over three hundred MPH. It never made it into production, even tho the army loved it, because the Air "Farce" screamed that air troop support was their playground and the Army shouldn't have a helicopter that could outrun some of their planes. The entire production that the Army ( and Marines) wanted was less than just the DEVELOPEMENT costs on the Apache chopper, and the Wart hog ground troop support plane. In other words, The fastest, hardest hitting, killer chopper ever designed and built, was replaced by a slow chopper, vunerable to ground fire, and a slow plane that couldn't hover over a ground firefight. It cost us about five billion tax dollars for the Air Farce greed and stupidity. Now, does anyone know anything about the mechanics of the pivoting rotor, and the gyroscope mounted below it. With the new Notor technology it wouldn't even have to have a tail rotor. Cliff

I was watching "Eye of the Needle" starring Donald Sutherland last night. It featured helicopters as part of Patton's phoney army in East Anglia and the use of a helicopter by the British prior to D day. I strongly suspect that both were innacurate.Please can someone tell me when helicopters entered operational service with the armed forces of the U.K. and when American Army helicopters first appeared in Europe.ThankyouIan.

I have really enjoyed doing helicopter skiing in many mountain areas of the world. Helicopter skiing for those who don't know about, is where a helicopter is used to carry skiers to the tops of mountain peaks in the backcountry. The skiers unload from the helicopter and ski to the bottom of the "ski run" and meet the helicopter for another ski run. I'm currently working on an article about the history of helicopter skiing. So, any research help I can get would be great. Helicopter skiing is suposed to have gotten its start in Canada in the late 70's. But, I have heard of some guys in the Utah used a Bell OH-135 Sioux helicopter in the eary late 60's to do some simple helicopter skiing. I did see in doing research that the Germans used a Focke Achgelis Fa-223 to carry alpine troops around the mountains of Austria in 1944. This is the earliest use of helicopters to move "people" around in mountainous terrain I have heard of. Does anyone have any information about if these German troops, skied down the mountains after the helicopter dropped them off in the mountains? Any other "helicopter skiing history" information would also be appreciated. Cheers, Halsted Morris

I currently fly an HH-52 SeaGuard,for a museum in Reading Pa. I am trying to locate a model of it produced by Ideal toy company in the late 50's or 60's. I'll take help from any one. About the helicopter, it is the last flyable one that is still in US Coast Guard colors, if you would like to see pictures of it go to MAAM.org Thank You
