I have just published a 370 page,A4 softcover book on the individual history of all known 737 Piasecki/Vertol H-21 “ Flying Banana’ and V.44 series helicopters. This is the only know single reference covering the detailed history of this type, operated largely by the US military but also many other ...

Thanks guys!

Heard coming off the Ocean on 24/01/2024, on HF, via LIMRI around 18:15 at F350. Anyone got an ID?

Most helpful, as SWORD51 overflew DUB on both sectors from/to Sig’. Thank you!

As an aside, looks like you have a US Navy P-8 inbound now. No serial available.

Many thanks, appreciate the link. Guess I was mistaken.

Any ident on the white C-130 seen at BHX on 27/2/2016?. Apologies if this turns out to be civil!

Excellent !

Hi,
Sincere apologies for not responding to the last posting on this, only saw it now!
Good points, well made - thanks again.

Sorry to come back again, but is it possible to establish if NASA had any other H-21s registered, as I know they received a bunch back in the late 1950s/early 60's.
For example ex USAF machines 50-1231 to 50-1232/50-1234/50-1236-1239/50-1242-1244/50-1246-1248/51-15241.

Very many thanks!

Hi,
I hope this request is permissible on this group and if so, can anyone advise the type of aircraft that NASA assigned tail numbers N672NA and N673NA?
Many thanks,
Colin

Ok Thanks anyhow, I also tried both of them!

Hi,
I know, this is a very long-shot but would anyone have or know a possible location for, a log from the above airshow held at Willow Run on 8-9/06/1991?
Regards,
Colin

Hi Steve - thanks for trying! I too checked BARG with no joy. I did find a reference in Yorkshire Air News that possibly two P-3's visited Brawdy on that date, no serials though,
Regards,
Colin

Hi,
Any chance anyone has a serial for a USN P-3, call-sign "CQ76" that departed Brawdy on the afternoon of 5th August 1985 for Keflavik?
Thanks,
Colin

Many thanks guys - much appreciated. If you can at some stage provide a listing from MASDC 1 book that would be great. I hope to extract a listing from my database when it is finally compiled from both the IARCs and that AMARC website. Thanks for that old log listing and I have noted the E&OE warnin...

Not too sure, probably late -1960s (not my shot I'm sorry to say!)
