[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3326070, member: 9220"] Didn’t want to highjack another thread -- So I started this one. My father retired from the USAF in 1973; his last duty station (where he ultimately retired from) was MacDill AFB; Tampa, Florida. when you entered the Air Base by vehicle or by bicycle, you passed or went near the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron hanger. In 1970 they had the HH43 Huskie. You could watch them from the road.

I later found out that this was a fire suppression kit. [URL]https://dodfirenews.blogspot.com/p/kaman-hh-43b-huskie.html[/URL] Left a lasting impression on me !!!! One day the UH-1N Twin Pack Huey showed up. Brings back a lot of memories when I see one on display. [/QUOTE]
