Sikorsky HRS-A, First flown in 1953 and delivered to both the US Army and Marines it was the worlds first heavy lift Helo. Known as th "Duce" by the Marines I had a chance to fly in one in 1964 while on a Caribbean deployment. When I asked the crew chief what it was he replied "A Crowd Killer", I was never so glad when we landed at Rosey Road.
