The Travis AFB Heritage Center H-34C Choctaw Helicopter located in Fairfield CA.
has been declared excess and will be scrapped if it is not transferred to another approved/vetted USAF museum. Parts are also available from the aircraft for other approved/vetted museums.

contact Rick Shea at the Travis AFB Heritage Center 707-424-5883
or if you want the whole aircraft contact USAF Museum, mark.miller@us.af.mil

More info and pictures also available from me, but I can't approve anything.
Sadly, the USAF is downsizing their aircraft collections on display. This is happening at many USAF Museums and Heritage Centers. Can't save them all, but maybe save some pieces from them.

H-34C
Serial number 57-1705
c/n 58-865

If no qualified museum comes forward then
The excess aircraft will be offered for sale at GSA surplus sales just like the recent C-119 and C-123 at Edwards. Before they are offered, they will be certified for
safety- no ejection seats, pressurized bottles etc and armament - no weapons, ordnance.

They will not be cut up before sale. Although some parts may be removed if they can be used on other museum aircraft. I believe the buyer has a limited time to remove aircraft from site. Usually they are worth more scrap metal value then the cost to move them. I hope someone gets them that will give them a good new home.
