  • What engine powers this helicopter?

  • @tranceaddict704

    1 x Wright R-1820-84  Radial 9 cylinder 1525 HP

  • Was your father a pilot at the 40sth squadron?

  • @seakinglover1 yes, from around 1964 until 1973...i think it was called the Heli-Flight back then.

  • I am glad your father got to go for another flight. Pretty cool! Did he take the controls at all during the flight?

  • @jimpeoples1

    yes he did a little bit, at the end of the video you can hear the pilot say (in German) that my father still remembers how to fly...

  • Der war im Film "Die Sturmflut" zu sehen! Der Film weckte mein interresse für diesen Helicopter!

  • I've flown in September 1987 as a passenger with this particular helicopter at the Oldtimer-Airshow Hahnweide near Stuttgart/Germany. A fantastic experience! All the best for the pilot, Mr. Bernd Hauber and his S-58, also to Mr. Eddy Brokken!

  • Great for your father. I have been doing my military duty at the 40sth squadron in BKOK. Still remembering the sound of this workhorse.

  • I have sat int the cockpit of one of those - it's like sitting in the middle of an engine room.
