Emergency Aircraft




Lifeflight Helicopter, I believe, from San Diego. Take n at the air show at Marine Corps Air Base El Toro, April 1985. MCAS El Toro was near Irvine, California. It has since been closed and is the site of some of the taping for the US version of the Top Gear television show.

Sikorsky S-62C Seagaurd Amphibious Helicopter. The HH-52 had 99 of them, they served the USCG from 1963 until 1989. Number 1402, from the USCG Los Angeles,  was withdrawn from use and dumped in the auxillary field at Elgin AFB, Florida. Taken at the air show at MCAS El Toro, April 1985.

C-9 Nightingale, an aeromedical transport aircraft. Basically a  military version of the DC-9. Taken on one of the taxiways at Hill AFB, Utah. This was the view from my office. This is sometime in the Spring of 1985.
