New H-21 helicopter project appears at Greenwood Museum.

Sat May 17, 2014 7:41 pm

Pieces of H-21s have appeared at the Greenwood Aviation Museum in Nova Scotia, Canada.
A Canadian tail, American tail, unknown fuselage and rotor blades are in visable storage.
They have a C-47 and Bolinbroke to finish first.
The Canadian tail is off R.C.A.F. H-21A 9592. The H-21 was used by the R.C.A.F. in Canada from 24 March 1960 until 12 January 1972. I took the photo of 9592 intact and active at Canadian Forces base Chatham on 21 August 1971 where it was with base Rescue.Image

Circa 1991 I was in Mesa Arizona and a H-21 showed up at the local field. It was painted in civil colors and had just been restored.
I looked at the dataplate it was an ex-RCAF aircraft.


Anyone know which one it was and it's fate?

I've heard that it was involved in logging and met the demise doing that.
