Colombian AF Kaman HH-43 Huskie

Fri Mar 09, 2018 3:36 pm

I seek images of these helicopters in Colombian (no, not Columbian) Air Force Service.

I have a couple -bad copies of copies- of FAC-252 and FAC-254.

Need all the help I can get. Thank you all of y'all.

I DO NOT have the Wayne Mutza book on the HH-43

Gracias, y saludos!

There are three photos in the Mutza book.
All b&w, two are so dark they're not with looking at.

Thank you, John.

Those are the images I have. I was positive that I had the HH-43 book in my collection, but after the floods, nothing is where it used to be...

I went looking for the Mutza's book. There used to be an aviation bookstore at the West Houston Airport terminal. It has been gone for so long, that no one at the customer service desk, even knew that such a store had existed there :drink3: :drink3:

Thanks again.

Saludos,

Wish I'd have seen Huskies to photo 'em when I was in Cartagena in '76. The young sailor then was more into the happenings around Hotel Caribe where we were billeted. Tall cotton to a young guy then. Veal steak 'n eggs for breakfast and seafood or steak for lunch and supper. Only airplane I saw was the remains of a Beech C-45 stored at the entrance along the fence at the Naval Base. I'll look thru the library Tulio to see if we have anything I can pass on...
