    Helicopter, Sikorsky S58-T


    Yesterday (7 NOV 13) I heard a helicopter but missed seeing it. A few minutes later I stepped out on the deck and heard it running. There is a new Meijer store going up about 1/2 mile from me, I figured they were doing a helicopter lift so I drove over there. Sure enough that's what was happening so I got some pics of it.
    It's a 1958 Sikorsky S58-T, twin turbo aircraft. They had a radial engine originally but most have had the turbo conversion. I built a Revell model of one as a boy having never seen one at the time, hence my interest.

    My photos.

    This one is from Jet Photos.net, very skillful piloting with balls of steel for the guy underneath. Same aircraft I saw here, N129NH.

    I found a lot of documentation of this helicopter on the net, here's a couple ov YouTube videos of it.
