Back in the middle 70's my squadron HC-3 at NASNI restored a S-52 that we put in the San Diego air museum but burned up in there fire. I might beable to find my pix.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the various early Sikorsky models. For clarity:
S-48 (YR-5 and early R-5)

YR-5
S-51 (later R-5 and H-5)
H-5H (note the ugly fusalage blisters for carrying stretchers internally):
This one is in Alaska
S-55 (H-19)
S-58 (H-34)
The Screaming Mimi:
I hope this helps.

That is the Sikorsky R-6, which is basically a cleaned up R-4.
Nash Kelvinator produced the R-6A version which looked very similar.

Yeah, you're right, I guess I got in too much of a hurry. I guess I have to start another thread.

I've read when the H-5G was fully fitted with awinch and other rescue gearit was said to have.."A useful load of several verbal messages".
I wish I'd said that!

Not to sidetrack but, What the heck is that 30's looking aircraft in the Japanese museum?

I think you'll find it was a record breaking aircraft (distance).

Noone has a list of R-5/H-5/S-51 survivors?
Mon May 11, 2009 5:42 pm
I know, off thread, but I assume that the Japanese record breaker is a reproduciton? And how about the Miss Veedol - anyone know the story on that?

Miss Veedol was a Bellanca, but I think this one is a replica.
The other silver and red aircraft looks like an AN-2, but I don't think it is.
